Summary
A hadith narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim from Abdullah bin Mas'ud shows that the Prophet SAW suffered a severe illness, with pain equal to that of two men. The prophets are tested most heavily because of their strong certainty and patience, so that they receive complete reward. The Prophet SAW was human and experienced illness like other people, as human nature is permissible for a messenger, yet his trial differed because of his status as the most honoured of creation.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Rasulullah SAW adalah manusia yang sudah tentu mengalami sakit dan juga kehidupannya sama seperti kehidupan manusia kerana sifat basyari yang harus bagi Rasul.
