So she did not regain consciousness except that a fever with shaking was upon her.
حُمَّى fever
The subject noun of that little 'upon her' clause: it is what sits on her. Arabic often states existence by simply placing the noun after the preposition phrase with no verb 'to be', so 'upon her a fever' alone means 'a fever was upon her', the verb being understood rather than written.
