Chapter 102

The permissibility of a sick person saying: ‘I am in severe pain’ or ‘unwell’ or ‘Oh, my head!’ and things like that; and explanation that there is nothing disapproved of in that if none of it is an expression of discontentment or impatience

Remembrance 1
WE RELATE FROM the Ṣaḥīḥs of al-Bukhārī and Muslim from ‘Abdullāh ibn Mas‘ūd Honorific symbol who said: “I came to the Prophet Honorific symbol while he was sick. I touched him and said: ‘You are really unwell.’ He said: ‘Yes, I am as unwell as two of you men.’” [1].
We relate in the same Ṣaḥīḥs from Sa‘d ibn Abī Waqqāṣ Honorific symbol who reported: “The Messenger of Allah Honorific symbol came to visit me because of a severe pain I had, so I said: ‘What you see has reached me, while I have wealth and no-one but my daughter will inherit from me. . ..’ And he then recounted the same hadith”.
We relate in the Ṣaḥīḥ of al-Bukhārī from al-Qāsim ibn Muḥammad who reported that ‘Ā’ishah Honorific symbol said: “Oh, my head!” The Prophet Honorific symbol said: “No: Oh my head!” [2].This hadith in this wording is mursal.
