Being ill

When you have moved somewhere you did not want to be

Madinah made them ill when they first arrived, and Abū Bakr was feverish.

اللَّهُمَّ حَبِّبْ إِلَيْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ كَمَا حَبَّبْتَ مَكَّةَ أَوْ أَشَدَّ وَصَحِّحْهَا وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي صَاعِهَا وَمُدِّهَا وَحَوِّلْ حُمَّاهَا إِلَى الْجُحْفَةِ

Allāhumma ḥabbib ilayna-l-madīnata ka-ḥubbinā makkata aw ashadd, wa ṣaḥḥiḥhā, wa bārik lanā fī ṣāʿihā wa muddihā.

“O Allah, make Madinah beloved to us as we love Makkah, or more so. Make it healthy for us, and bless us in its measures.”

The full narration

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported:When we came to Medina, and it was an unhealthy, uncogenial place, Abu Bakr fell sick and Bilal also fell sick; and when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw the illness of his Companions he said: O Allah, make Medina as congenial to us as you made Mecca congenial or more than that; make it conducive to health, and bleesus in its sa' and in its mudd, and transfer its fever to al-juhfa
