Cooling Down Fever with Water

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ advised a woman suffering from fever to cool it down with water, and said that the fever was from the heat of Hell-fire.

It was narrated from Asma’ bint Abu Bakr that a woman suffering from fever would be brought to her, and she would call for water and pour it onto the neck of her garment. She said: The Prophet said: "Cool it down with water," and he said: "It is from the heat of Hell-fire".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ الْمُنْذِرِ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تُؤْتَى بِالْمَرْأَةِ الْمَوْعُوكَةِ فَتَدْعُو بِالْمَاءِ فَتَصُبُّهُ فِي جَيْبِهَا وَتَقُولُ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ ـ قَالَ ‏"‏ ابْرُدُوهَا بِالْمَاءِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّهَا مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ
