حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " الْحُمَّى مِنْ فَوْرِ جَهَنَّمَ، فَأَبْرِدُوهَا عَنْكُمْ بِالْمَاءِ ".

ʿAmr ibn ʿAbbas narrated to me: ʿAbd al-Rahman narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, from his father, from ʿAbaya ibn Rifaʿa, who said: Rafiʿ ibn Khadij informed me: I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: ‘Fever is from the fierce heat of Hell, so cool it with water.’
