He said that the Prophet (ﷺ) used to teach them to say when afflicted by fever or any pain, "In the name of Allah, the Great, I seek refuge in Allah, the Mighty, from the evil of every vein that bleeds and from the evil of the heat of hell.” Tirmidhi transmitted it, but said this was a gharib tradition which he knew only among the traditions of Ibrahim b.

She replied that no one had asked her about them since she had asked Allah's Messenger ﷺ and received the reply, "This is Allah’s rebuke of His servant, by means of fever or misfortune with which He afflicts him, even such a matter as something he puts in his sleeve and grieves for when he loses it. The result is that the servant comes out of his sins as the pure gold comes out of the crucible." Tirmidhi transmitted it.
