Riyad as-Salihin: Book 17, Hadith 216

Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) visited Umm Sa’ib (or Umm Musaiyyab) and asked her, “What ails you O Umm Sa’ib (or Umm Musaiyyab)? You are shivering.” She replied: “It is a fever, may Allah not bless it!” He said to her, “Do not revile fever, for it cleanses out the sins of the sons of Adam in the same way that a furnace removes the dirt of iron.”.

عن جابر رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم دخل على أم السائب، أو أم المسيب فقال‏:‏ ‏”‏مالك يا أم السائب -أو يا أم المسيب- تزفزفين‏؟‏ ‏”‏ قالت‏:‏ الحمى لا بارك الله فيها، فقال‏:‏ ‏”‏لا تسبي الحمى، فإنها تذهب خطايا بني آدم، كما يذهب الكير خبث الحديد‏”‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏ «تُزَفْزِفِينَ» أيْ تَتَحَرَّكِينَ حَرَكَةً سَريعَةً، وَمَعْنَاهُ: تَرْتَعِدِين. وَهُوَ بِضَمِّ التاء وبالزاي المكررة والفاء المكررة، وَرُوِيَ أيضًا بالراء المكررة والقافينِ.
