Hadith text

Narrated `Aisha:When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to Medina, Abu Bakr and Bilal got fever, and I went to both of them and said, "O my father, how do you feel? O Bilal, how do you feel?" Whenever Abu Bakr's fever got worse, he would say, "Every man will meet his death once in one morning while he will be among his family, for death is really nearer to him than his leather shoe laces (to his feet)." And whenever fever deserted Bilal, he would say aloud, "Would that I know whether I shall spend a night in the valley (of Mecca) with Idhkhir and Jalil (i.e. kinds of grass) around me, and whether I shall drink one day the water of Majannah, and whether I shall see once again the hills of Shamah and Tafil?" Then I went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and told him of that. He said, "O Allah, make us love Medina as much as or more than we used to love Mecca, O Allah, make it healthy and bless its Sa' and Mud (i.e. measures), and take away its fever to Al-Juhfa

Ayesha bataati hain: Jab Allah ke Rasool Madina aaye, Abu Bakr aur Bilal ko bukhaar chadha, aur main donon ke paas gaee aur kaha, "Aye mere waalid, aapko kaisa lagta hai? Aye Bilal, aapko kaisa lagta hai?" Jab bhi Abu Bakr ka bukhaar badhta, woh kahte, "Har insaan apni maut se subah-subah milega, apne pariwara ke beech rehte hue, kyunke maut sach mein use uski chamde ki jooton ki lases se bhi zyada nazdeek hai." Aur jab bhi Bilal ka bukhaar utarta, woh zor se kahte, "Kaash mujhe pata hota kya main (Mecca ki) waadi mein Idhkhir aur Jalil (yaani ghaas ki qismon) ke aas-paas ek raat bitaunga, aur kya main kabhi Majannah ka paani piunga, aur kya main phir kabhi Shamah aur Tafil ki pahadiyon ko dekhunga?" Phir main Allah ke Rasool ke paas gaee aur unhe yeh bataya. Unhone kaha, "Aye Allah! Humein Madina se utni hi ya usse zyada mohabbat karvaa jitni humein Mecca se thi. Aye Allah! Ise sehatmand banaa aur iske Sa aur Mud (yaani naapon) mein barkat de, aur iska bukhaar Al-Juhfa le ja."
