I visited the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) while he was in pain because of fever, so I touched him

Explanation

Ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him) recalls that he visited the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) while he was in pain from acute sickness. He stretched out his hand and said: "O Messenger of Allah, you are severely sick." The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed him that his sickness is as severe as the sickness of two men among them so that he would achieve the highest degree of patience.
