 حَدَّثَنِی الْحُسَیْنُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی یُوسُفُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِیلَ بِإِسْنَادٍ لَهُ قَالَ: إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا حُمَّ حُمَّی وَاحِدَهً تَنَاثَرَتِ الذُّنُوبُ مِنْهُ کَوَرَقِ الشَّجَرِ فَإِنْ أَنَّ عَلَی فِرَاشِهِ فَأَنِینُهُ تَسْبِیحٌ وَ صِیَاحُهُ تَهْلِیلٌ وَ تَقَلُّبُهُ عَلَی فِرَاشِهِ کَمَنْ یَضْرِبُ بِسَیْفِهِ فِی سَبِیلِ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ أَقْبَلَ یَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ بَیْنَ إِخْوَانِهِ وَ أَصْحَابِهِ کَانَ مَغْفُوراً لَهُ فَطُوبَی لَهُ إِنْ تَابَ وَ وَیْلٌ لَهُ إِنْ عَادَ وَ الْعَافِیَهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَیْنَا.
3. It was narrated to me by al-Hussain b. Ahmad from his father from Muhammad b. Ahmad who said it was narrated to me by Yusif b. Ismail through his chain to him who said: “If a believer has fever once, his sins are destroyed like dry leaves fall off in the wind. His cries on his bed are like Tasbih and moans like praising Allah. His turning left and right is like fighting with sword in the way of Allah. If he worships Allah along with his brothers and friends, he will be forgiven. If he repents, he is indeed fortunate and if he breaks repentance, he is ill-fated. Any way, we prefer his well being and salvation.”
