Uprooted by the flu
1 Ḥadīth

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ وَ النَّوْفَلِيِّ وَ غَيْرِهِمَا يَرْفَعُونَهُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) لَا يَتَدَاوَى مِنَ الزُّكَامِ وَ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا وَ بِهِ عِرْقٌ مِنَ الْجُذَامِ فَإِذَا أَصَابَهُ الزُّكَامُ قَمَعَهُ.


577. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Bakr bin Salih, and Al-Nowfali, and someone else with an unbroken chain going up to Abu Abdullah (a.s), the following: Abu Abdullah (a.s) has said: ‘The Rasool Allah ﷺ never used to cure himself ﷺ from the flu, and would say: ‘There is no one except that he has a vein from the leprosy, so if he is struck by the flu, it suppresses it’.
