حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْمَدِينَةَ وُعِكَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَبِلاَلٌ، فَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِذَا أَخَذَتْهُ الْحُمَّى يَقُولُ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مُصَبَّحٌ فِي أَهْلِهِ وَالْمَوْتُ أَدْنَى مِنْ شِرَاكِ نَعْلِهِ وَكَانَ بِلاَلٌ إِذَا أُقْلِعَ عَنْهُ الْحُمَّى يَرْفَعُ عَقِيرَتَهُ يَقُولُ أَلاَ لَيْتَ شِعْرِي هَلْ أَبِيتَنَّ لَيْلَةً بِوَادٍ وَحَوْلِي إِذْخِرٌ وَجَلِيلُ وَهَلْ أَرِدَنْ يَوْمًا مِيَاهَ مَجَنَّةٍ وَهَلْ يَبْدُوَنْ لِي شَامَةٌ وَطَفِيلُ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْ شَيْبَةَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ، وَعُتْبَةَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ، وَأُمَيَّةَ بْنَ خَلَفٍ، كَمَا أَخْرَجُونَا مِنْ أَرْضِنَا إِلَى أَرْضِ الْوَبَاءِ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ حَبِّبْ إِلَيْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ كَحُبِّنَا مَكَّةَ أَوْ أَشَدَّ، اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي صَاعِنَا، وَفِي مُدِّنَا، وَصَحِّحْهَا لَنَا وَانْقُلْ حُمَّاهَا إِلَى الْجُحْفَةِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَتْ وَقَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ، وَهْىَ أَوْبَأُ أَرْضِ اللَّهِ‏.‏ قَالَتْ فَكَانَ بُطْحَانُ يَجْرِي نَجْلاً‏.‏ تَعْنِي مَاءً آجِنًا‏.‏

Narrated `Aisha:When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) reached Medina, Abu Bakr and Bilal became ill. When Abu Bakr's fever got worse, he would recite (this poetic verse): "Everybody is staying alive with his People, yet Death is nearer to him than His shoe laces." And Bilal, when his fever deserted him, would recite: "Would that I could stay overnight in A valley wherein I would be Surrounded by Idhkhir and Jalil (kinds of goodsmelling grass). Would that one day I could Drink the water of the Majanna, and Would that (The two mountains) Shama and Tafil would appear to me!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Allah! Curse Shaiba bin Rabi`a and `Utba bin Rabi`a and Umaiya bin Khalaf as they turned us out of our land to the land of epidemics." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then said, "O Allah! Make us love Medina as we love Mecca or even more than that. O Allah! Give blessings in our Sa and our Mudd (measures symbolizing food) and make the climate of Medina suitable for us, and divert its fever towards Al-juhfa." Aisha added: When we reached Medina, it was the most unhealthy of Allah's lands, and the valley of Buthan (the valley of Medina) used to flow with impure colored water

Ayesha (رضی اللہ عنہا) bataati hain: Jab Allah ke Rasool Madina pahunche, Abu Bakr aur Bilal bimar ho gaye. Jab Abu Bakr ka bukhaar badha, woh yeh she'r padhte: "Har koi apne khandaan ke saath zinda hai, magar maut usse uske joote ke tasme se bhi qareeb hai." Aur Bilal, jab unka bukhaar utarta, yeh padhte: "Kaash main ek raat kisi wadi mein guzar sakta jahan Idhkhir aur Jalil (khushbudaar ghaas) mere aas-paas hoti. Kaash ek din main Majanna ka paani pee sakta, aur kaash (do pahad) Shama aur Tafil mujhe dikhaaee dete!" Nabi ne kaha: "Aye Allah! Shaiba bin Rabi'a, Utba bin Rabi'a, aur Umaiya bin Khalaf par laanat kar kyunke unhone humein humari zameen se bimari wali zameen ki taraf nikaala." Allah ke Rasool ne phir kaha: "Aye Allah! Humein Madina se utni hi mohabbat de jitni humein Mecca se hai, ya usse bhi zyada. Aye Allah! Humare Sa aur Mudd (naapne ki maqdarein khaane ki cheezon ke liye) mein barkat de, aur Madina ki aab-o-hawa humare liye munasib bana de, aur iska bukhaar Al-Juhfa ki taraf pher de." Ayesha ne joda: "Jab hum Madina pahunche, yeh Allah ki sabse ghair-swasthkar zameenon mein se thi, aur Buthan ki wadi (Madina ki wadi) mein ganda rangeen paani bahtaa tha."
