The chiefs of Quraish tried to prevent Muslims from migrating to Medina, but they were able to migrate after a few weeks, and the emigrants were accustomed, the dry weather of Mecca, when they came to Medina, most of them fell ill with fever, and perhaps it was influenza or malaria, because its summers are humid, and its winters are harsh, and the rain is almost always.
Aisha said: When the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, came to Medina, which was the first land from which calamity and disease befallen his companions, And God turned that away from His Prophet, peace be upon him, and the fever struck Abu Bakr, Bilal and Aamir bin Fuhaira, so I sought permission from the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, to visit them, and that was before the veil hit us, due to the severity of the fever, He gave me permission, so I entered them, and they were in one house, and I found them babbling: speaking incomprehensible words, due to the severity of the fever, So she told the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, that she said: He looked at the sky:
And he said: “Oh God, loved Madinah to us as we love Makkah or more, O God, bless our measures and our Mud "an old measure" for us, correct them for us, and move their fever to Al-Juhfa: a place between Mecca and Medina, so God responded to him, so he made good its air, its soil, its habitation, and its living in it, and Abu Bakr, if he was caught by a fever, would chant: Every man is in the morning with his family ** and death is less than his sandal strap, This is from the poetry of Hanzala bin Yasar, not from the poetry of Abu Bakr, And the fever of the city was malaria when it was surrounded by ponds and wells, to the extent that camels were getting sick from drinking, and the Quraysh used to reproach the people of Yathrib for their fever and the domination of the Jews over them, It is called a fever (Umm Maldem) The Messenger of God said to Zaid al-Khail, who had come with a Ta'a delegation: They paint the walls with mud, and he embraced Islam: “O Zayd, Umm Muldam will kill you” means: a fever, and he contracted it on the way on his return and died of it.
We benefit from the following
1 - Perhaps every person has tried to emigrate, even if it was a non-forced emigration that was struck by a fever or any disease upon arrival, , and that is not for nothing but for the climate change in his mother country, which he is accustomed to in the first place.
2 - Grief due to parting from one’s home and perhaps money, or the loss of one of the children, or his death on the road, or other things, weakens the immunity, so he becomes infected with the diseases that spread in this place.
3 - This snapshot in the biography of the Prophet is very important for the lulling of souls who are tired of emigration or who imagine that calamities have come and they are not so, God willing
