Undesirability of Reviling Fever
Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) visited Umm Saib (or Umm Musaiyyab) and asked her, "What ails you O Umm Saib (or Umm Musaiyyab)? You are shivering." She replied: "It is a fever, may Allah not bless it!" He said to her, "Do not revile fever, for it cleanses out the sins of the sons of Adam in the same way that a furnace removes the dirt of iron."[Muslim].


Commentary:
We learn from this Hadith that as diseases are means of expiation of sins, one should not condemn them. More so for the person that they are a part of fate - the Will of Allah. However, there is no harm in taking necessary measures to overcome them because Shari'ah makes it obligatory to do so..

باب كراهة سبَّ الحُمّى
عنْ جَابرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُ أَنَّ رسُول اللَّهِ صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم دخَلَ على أُمِّ السَّائبِ ، أَوْ أُمِّ المُسَيَّبِ فقَالَ : « مَالَكِ يا أُمَّ السَّائبِ أَوْ يَا أُمِّ المُسيَّبِ تُزَفْزِفينَ ؟ » قَالَتْ : الحُمَّى لا بارَكَ اللَّه فِيهَا ، فَقَالَ : « لا تَسُبِّي الحُمَّى ، فَإِنَّهَا تُذْهِبُ خَطَايا بَني آدم ، كَما يُذْهِبُ الْكِيرُ خَبثَ الحدِيدِ » رواه مسلم .« تُزَفْزِفِينَ » أَيْ : تَتَحرَّكِينَ حرَكَةً سريعَةً ، ومَعْناهُ : تَرْتَعِدُ ، وَهُوَ بضمِّ التاءِ وبالزاي المكررة والفاء المكررة ، ورُوِي أَيضاً بالراءِ المكررة والقافين .
