Sahih Bukhari 5654

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ : لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ ، وُعِكَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَبِلَالٌ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، قَالَتْ : فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِمَا ، قُلْتُ : يَا أَبَتِ كَيْفَ تَجِدُكَ ؟ وَيَا بِلَالُ كَيْفَ تَجِدُكَ ؟ قَالَتْ : وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِذَا أَخَذَتْهُ الْحُمَّى يَقُولُ : كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مُصَبَّحٌ فِي أَهْلِهِ وَالْمَوْتُ أَدْنَى مِنْ شِرَاكِ نَعْلِهِ ، وَكَانَ بِلَالٌ إِذَا أَقْلَعَتْ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ : أَلَا لَيْتَ شِعْرِي ، هَلْ أَبِيتَنَّ لَيْلَةً بِوَادٍ وَحَوْلِي إِذْخِرٌ وَجَلِيلُ وَهَلْ أَرِدَنْ يَوْمًا مِيَاهَ مِجَنَّةٍ وَهَلْ تَبْدُوَنْ لِي شَامَةٌ وَطَفِيلُ ، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ : فَجِئْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ حَبِّبْ إِلَيْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ كَحُبِّنَا مَكَّةَ ، أَوْ أَشَدَّ ، اللَّهُمَّ وَصَحِّحْهَا وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي مُدِّهَا ، وَصَاعِهَا ، وَانْقُلْ حُمَّاهَا فَاجْعَلْهَا بِالْجُحْفَةِ .

Narrated `Aisha: When Allah's Apostle emigrated to Medina, Abu Bakr and Bilal got a fever. I entered upon them and asked, O my father! How are you? O Bilal! How are you? Whenever fever attacked Abu Bakr, he would recite the following poetic verses: 'Everybody is staying alive among his people, yet death is nearer to him than his shoe laces. And whenever the fever deserted Bilal, he would recite (two poetic lines): 'Would that I could stay overnight in a valley wherein I would be surrounded by Idhkhir and Jalil (two kinds of good smelling grass). Would that one day I would drink of the water of Majinna and would that Shama and Tafil (two mountains at Mecca) would appear to me.' Then I came and informed Allah's Apostle about that, whereupon he said, O Allah! Make us love Medina as much or more than we love Mecca. O Allah! Make it healthy and bless its Mudd and Sa for us, and take away its fever and put it in Al Juhfa.
