not be (said) because the coming of all illnesses is from Allah Almighty, so how can one complain! (Hayat-e-A’la Hadrat, vol. 3, p. 94)

They did not mention fever

Someone asked the great guide of the Hanbalis, Sayyiduna Imam Ahmad Bin Hanbal رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه, ‘O Abu ‘Abdullah!

How can one complain?

A Khalifah [spiritual successor] of A’la Hadrat - Mufti Amjad ‘Ali A’zami رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه mentions, ‘Once, A’la Hadrat (رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه) was ill, so I went to enquire about his health. I asked him as per the phrase, ‘Huzoor! How is the complaint now?’ He said, ‘Who would I complain about? I did not have a complaint about Allah (Almighty) before, nor do I now. How can a servant complain about the Lord Almighty!’ (Sadr-ush-Shari’ah رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه states,) I repented from saying this phrase for the rest of my life.’ (Fatawa Amjadiyyah, vol. 2, p. 388)
