أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي خَالِدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا الزُّبَيْرِ الْمَكِّيَّ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ
دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى بَعْضِ أَهْلِهِ وَهُوَ وَجِعٌ وَبِهِ الْحُمَّى فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَهِيَ أُمُّ مِلْدَمٍ؟» فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ نَعَمْ فَلَعَنَهَا اللهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَا تَلْعَنِيهَا فَإِنَّهَا تَغْسِلُ أَوْ تَذْهَبُ بِذَنُوبِ بَنِي آدَمَ كَمَا يُذْهِبُ الْكِيرُ خَبَثَ الْحَدِيدِ»

✧ The Prophet ﷺ entered upon one of his family members who was in pain and had a fever. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Is this Umm Mildam (fever)?" A woman said, "Yes, may Allah curse it." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not curse it, for it washes away—or removes—the sins of the children of Adam, just as the bellows removes the impurities of iron."
