Narrated Ibn Mas'ud:

I visited the Prophet while he was having a high fever. I touched him an said,

"You have a very high fever"

He said, "Yes, as much fever as two me of you may have."

I said. "you will have a double reward?"

He said, "Yes No Muslim is afflicted with hurt caused by disease or some other inconvenience, but that Allah will remove his sins as a tree sheds its leaves."
