29. Visiting the Ill
أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَتَى أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ وَهُوَ وَجِعٌ فَقَالَ كَيْفَ أَمْسَى أَجْرُ الأَمِيرِ؟ فَقَالَ هَلْ تَدْرُونَ فِيمَا تُؤْجَرُونَ بِهِ؟ فَقَالَ بِمَا يُصِيبُنَا فِيمَا نَكْرَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا تُؤْجَرُونَ بِمَا أَنْفَقْتُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَاسْتُنْفِقَ لَكُمْ ثُمَّ عَدَّ أَدَاةَ الرَّحْلِ كُلَّهَا حَتَّى بَلَغَ عِذَارَ الْبِرْذَوْنِ وَلَكِنَّ هَذَا الْوَصَبَ الَّذِي يُصِيبُكُمْ فِي أَجْسَادِكُمْ يُكَفِّرُ اللَّهُ بِهِ مِنْ خَطَايَاكُمْ
✧ A man came to Abu 'Ubaydah b. al-Jarrah while he was ill and said, “How has the amir's reward fared this evening?” He said, “Do you know what you are rewarded for?” He said, “For what afflicts us in what we dislike.” He said, “You are only rewarded for what you spend in the way of Allah and what is spent on you.” Then he enumerated all the equipment of the saddle until he reached the cheek-strap of the horse. “But this illness that afflicts your bodies, Allah expiates by it some of your sins.”
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَا يُصِيبُ الْمُسْلِمَ مِنْ نَصَبٍ وَلاَ وَصَبٍ وَلاَّهَمٍّ وَلاَ حَزَنٍ وَلاَ أَذًى وَلاَ غَمٍّ حَتَّى الشَّوْكَةُ يُشَاكُهَا إِلاَّ كَفَّرَ اللَّهُ بِهَا مِنْ خَطَايَاهُ
✧ From the Prophet ﷺ, who said: No fatigue, illness, worry, grief, harm, or distress befalls a Muslim, even a thorn that pricks him, but Allah expiates some of his sins by it.
عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ سَلْمَانَ وَعَادَ مَرِيضًا فِي كِنْدَةَ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ أَبْشِرْ فَإِنَّ مَرَضَ الْمُؤْمِنِ يَجْعَلُهُ اللَّهُ لَهُ كَفَّارَةً وَمُسْتَعْتَبًا وَإِنَّ مَرَضَ الْفَاجِرِ كَالْبَعِيرِ عَقَلَهُ أَهْلُهُ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلُوهُ فَلاَ يَدْرِي لِمَ عُقِلَ وَلِمَ أُرْسِلَ
✧ From his father, who said: I was with Salmān when he visited a sick person in Kindah. When he entered upon him, he said, 'Rejoice, for Allah makes the illness of the believer an expiation for him and a means of seeking restoration, while the illness of the wicked is like a camel that its owners have hobbled and then released; it does not know why it was hobbled or why it was released.'
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَزَالُ الْبَلاَءُ بِالْمُؤْمِنِ وَالْمُؤْمِنَةِ فِي جَسَدِهِ وَأَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ حَتَّى يَلْقَى اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَمَا عَلَيْهِ خَطِيئَةٌ حدثنا محمد بن عبيد قال حدثنا عمر بن طلحة عن محمد بن عمرو مثله وزاد (في ولده)
✧ From the Prophet ﷺ, who said: Affliction will continue to befall the believing man and woman in his body, his family, and his wealth until he meets Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, with no sin upon him. Muhammad b. ʿUbayd narrated to us: ʿUmar b. Ṭalḥah narrated to us from Muḥammad b. ʿAmr something similar, and he added: 'and in his children.'
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 495Hasan or sahih
فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ هَلْ أَخَذَتْكَ أُمُّ مِلْدَمٍ؟ قَالَ وَمَا أُمُّ مِلْدَمٍ؟ قَالَ حَرٌّ بَيْنَ الْجِلْدِ وَاللَّحْمِ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَهَلْ صُدِعْتَ؟ قَالَ وَمَا الصُّدَاعُ؟ قَالَ رِيحٌ تَعْتَرِضُ فِي الرَّأْسِ تَضْرِبُ الْعُرُوقَ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَامَ قَالَ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ أَيْ فَلْيَنْظُرْهُ
✧ The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Has Umm Mildam taken hold of you?' He said, 'What is Umm Mildam?' He said, 'A heat between the skin and the flesh.' He said, 'No.' He said, 'Have you had a headache?' He said, 'What is a headache?' He said, 'A wind that presents itself in the head and strikes the veins.' He said, 'No.' When he arose, he said, 'Whoever would like to look at a man from the people of the Fire, let him look at this man.'

سَمِعَ بِذَلِكَ رَهْطُهُ وَالأَنْصَارُ فَأَتَوْهُ فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ عِنْدَ الصُّبْحِ قَالَ أَيُّ سَاعَةٍ هَذِهِ؟ قُلْنَا جَوْفُ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ عِنْدَ الصُّبْحِ قَالَ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ صَبَاحِ النَّارِ قَالَ جِئْتُمْ بِمَا أُكَفَّنُ بِهِ؟ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ قَالَ لاَ تُغَالُوا بِالأَكْفَانِ فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ يَكُنْ لِي عِنْدَ اللهِ خَيْرٌ بُدِّلْتُ بِهِ خَيْرًا مِنْهُ وَإِنْ كَانَتِ الأُخْرَى سُلِبْتُ سَلْبًا سَرِيعًا قال ابن إدريس أتيناه في بعض الليل
✧ His people and the Anṣār heard of that, so they came to him in the middle of the night or near dawn. He said, 'What hour is this?' We said, 'The middle of the night or near dawn.' He said, 'I seek refuge with Allah from the morning of the Fire.' He said, 'Have you brought what I will be shrouded in?' We said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Do not be extravagant with shrouds, for if I have good with Allah, I will be exchanged for something better than it, and if it is the other, I will be quickly stripped.' Ibn Idrīs said: 'We came to him in part of the night.'

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا اشْتَكَى الْمُؤْمِنُ أَخْلَصَهُ اللَّهُ كَمَا يُخَلِّصُ الْكِيرُ خَبَثَ الْحَدِيدِ
It is reported by Ayeshah that the Prophet said, "When a Believer falls ill, Allah cleans him of sin as a kiln removes the rust from iron".

It is narrated by Ayeshah (ra) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "when a Muslim is afflicted by an anxiety, pain or sickness then, because of that, his sins are atoned. So much, so that if a thorn pricks him or he suffers a simple, minor injury (His sins are forgiven)”.

أَنَّ أَبَاهَا قَالَ اشْتَكَيْتُ بِمَكَّةَ شَكْوَى شَدِيدَةً فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَعُودُنِي فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أَتْرُكُ مَالاً وَإِنِّي لَمْ أَتْرُكْ إِلاَّ ابْنَةً وَاحِدَةً أَفَأُوصِي بِثُلُثَيْ مَالِي وَأَتْرُكُ الثُّلُثَ؟ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ أُوصِي النِّصْفَ وَأَتْرُكُ لَهَا النِّصْفَ؟ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَأَوْصِي بِالثُّلُثِ وَأَتْرُكُ لَهَا الثُّلُثَيْنِ؟ قَالَ الثُّلُثُ وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى جَبْهَتِي ثُمَّ مَسَحَ وَجْهِي وَبَطْنِي ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اشْفِ سَعْدًا وَأَتِمَّ لَهُ هِجْرَتَهُ فَمَا زِلْتُ أَجِدُ بَرْدَ يَدِهِ عَلَى كَبِدِي فِيمَا يَخَالُ إِلَيَّ حَتَّى السَّاعَةِ
✧ Her father said: I fell severely ill in Makkah, and the Prophet ﷺ came to visit me. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I am leaving wealth, and I am leaving only one daughter. Should I bequeath two-thirds of my wealth and leave one-third?' He said, 'No.' I said, 'Should I bequeath half and leave her half?' He said, 'No.' I said, 'Should I bequeath one-third and leave her two-thirds?' He said, 'One-third, and one-third is a lot.' Then he placed his hand on my forehead, wiped my face and belly, and said, 'O Allah, heal Saʿd and complete his hijrah for him.' I continued to feel the coolness of his hand on my liver, as it seemed to me, until this very hour.

✧ From the Prophet ﷺ, who said: No Muslim whom Allah afflicts in his body but that what he used to do in his health is recorded for him as long as he is ill. If He restores him to health—I think he said—'He refines him,' and if He takes him, He forgives him. Mūsā narrated to us: Ḥammād b. Salamah narrated to us from Yanām, from Anas, from the Prophet ﷺ something similar, and he added: 'He said: If He heals him, He refines him.'

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ جَاءَتِ الْحُمَّى إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَتِ ابْعَثْنِي إِلَى آثَرِ أَهْلِكَ عِنْدَكَ فَبَعَثَهَا إِلَى الأَنْصَارِ فَبَقِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَيَالِيهِنَّ فَاشْتَدَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَأَتَاهُمْ فِي دِيَارِهِمْ فَشَكَوْا ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِ فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدْخُلُ دَارًا دَارًا وَبَيْتًا بَيْتًا يَدْعُو لَهُمْ بِالْعَافِيَةِ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ تَبِعَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَتْ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ إِنِّي لِمَنَ الأَنْصَارِ وَإِنَّ أَبِي لِمَنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي كَمَا دَعَوْتَ لِلأَنْصَارِ قَالَ مَا شِئْتِ إِنْ شِئْتِ دَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُعَافِيَكِ وَإِنْ شِئْتِ صَبَرْتِ وَلَكِ الْجَنَّةُ قَالَتْ بَلْ أَصْبِرُ ولا أَجْعَلُ الْجَنَّةَ خَطَرًا
✧ From Abū Hurayrah, who said: Fever came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'Send me to the one of your family dearest to you.' So he sent it to the Anṣār, and it remained upon them for six days and their nights. That became severe for them, so he came to them in their dwellings, and they complained of that to him. The Prophet ﷺ began entering house by house and tent by tent, supplicating for their well-being. When he returned, a woman among them followed him and said, 'By the One who sent you with the truth, I am of the Anṣār, and my father is of the Anṣār, so supplicate to Allah for me as you supplicated for the Anṣār.' He said, 'As you wish: if you wish, I will supplicate to Allah to heal you, and if you wish, you may be patient and Paradise will be yours.' She said, 'Rather, I will be patient, and I will not make Paradise a risk.'

✧ From Abū Hurayrah, who said: No illness that befalls me is dearer to me than fever, because it enters every organ of mine, and Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, gives each organ its share of reward.

✧ From Abū Nuḥaylah, it was said to him, 'Supplicate to Allah.' He said, 'O Allah, lessen the illness but do not lessen the reward.' Then it was said to him, 'Supplicate, supplicate.' He said, 'O Allah, make me among the near ones and make my mother among the ḥūr al-ʿīn.'

✧ Ibn ʿAbbās said to me, 'Shall I show you a woman from the people of Paradise?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'This black woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I suffer from epilepsy, and I become uncovered, so supplicate to Allah for me." He said, "If you wish, you may be patient and Paradise will be yours, and if you wish, I will supplicate to Allah to heal you." She said, "I will be patient." Then she said, "I become uncovered, so supplicate to Allah for me that I do not become uncovered." So he supplicated for her.'

✧ He saw Umm Zufar, that tall black woman, on the staircase of the Kaʿbah. He said: And ʿAbdullāh b. Abī Mulaykah informed me that al-Qāsim informed him that ʿĀʾishah informed him that the Prophet ﷺ used to say: Whatever afflicts the believer, even a thorn or more, is an expiation.

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ مُؤْمِنٍ وَلاَ مُؤْمِنَةٍ وَلاَ مُسْلِمٍ وَلاَ مَسْلَمَةٍ يَمْرَضُ مَرَضًا إِلاَّ قَصَّ اللَّهُ بِهِ عَنْهُ مِنْ خَطَايَاهُ
✧ I heard the Prophet ﷺ say: There is no believing man or believing woman, no Muslim man or Muslim woman, who falls ill with an illness except that Allah removes some of his sins thereby.
فَقَالَ لَهَا عَبْدُ اللهِ كَيْفَ تَجِدِينَكِ؟ قَالَتْ وَجِعَةٌ قَالَ إِنِّي فِي الْمَوْتِ فَقَالَتْ لَعَلَّكَ تَشْتَهِي مَوْتِي فَلِذَلِكَ تَتَمَنَّاهُ؟ فَلاَ تَفْعَلْ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا أَشْتَهِي أَنْ أَمُوتَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ عَلَيَّ أَحَدُ طَرَفَيْكَ أَوْ تُقْتَلَ فَأَحْتَسِبَكَ وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَظْفُرَ فَتَقَرَّ عَيْنِي فَإِيَّاكَ أَنْ تُعْرَضَ عَلَيْكَ خُطَّةٌ فَلاَ تُوَافِقُكَ فَتَقْبَلُهَا كَرَاهِيَةَ الْمَوْتِ وإنما عنى ابن الزبير ليقتل فيُحزنُها ذلك
✧ ʿAbdullāh said to her, "How do you find yourself?" She said, "In pain." He said, "I am near death." She said, "Perhaps you desire my death and therefore you wish for it? Do not do that. By Allah, I do not desire to die until one of two ends befalls you: either you are killed and I count my reward for you, or you are victorious and my eye is gladdened. Beware lest a plan is presented to you and you do not agree with it, then you accept it out of dislike for death." He only meant that Ibn al-Zubayr would be killed, and that would grieve her.
أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ مَوْعُوكٌ عَلَيْهِ قَطِيفَةٌ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَوَجَدَ حَرَارَتَهَا فَوْقَ الْقَطِيفَةِ فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ مَا أَشَدَّ حُمَّاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ إِنَّا كَذَلِكَ يَشْتَدُّ عَلَيْنَا الْبَلاَءُ وَيُضَاعَفُ لَنَا الأَجْرُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَشَدُّ بَلاَءً؟ قَالَ الأَنْبِيَاءُ ثُمَّ الصَّالِحُونَ وَقَدْ كَانَ أَحَدُهُمْ يُبْتَلَى بِالْفَقْرِ حَتَّى مَا يَجِدُ إِلاَّ الْعَبَاءَةَ يَجُوبُهَا فَيَلْبَسُهَا وَيُبْتَلَى بِالْقُمَّلِ حَتَّى يَقْتُلَهُ وَلَأَحَدُهُمْ كَانَ أَشَدَّ فَرَحًا بِالْبَلاَءِ مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ بِالْعَطَاءِ
✧ He entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was feverish and had a velvet covering over him. He placed his hand on him and found its heat above the covering. Abū Saʿīd said, "How severe your fever is, O Messenger of Allah!" He said, "Indeed it is like that for us; the affliction is intensified for us and the reward is multiplied for us." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, which people are most severely tried?" He said, "The prophets, then the righteous. One of them would be tried with poverty until he found nothing but a cloak that he would shred and wear, and he would be tried with lice until it killed him. Indeed one of them was more delighted by affliction than any of you is by a gift."
سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ يَقُولُ مَرِضْتُ مَرَضًا فَأَتَانِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَعُودُنِي وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَهُمَا مَاشِيَانِ فَوَجَدَانِي أُغْمِيَ عَلَيَّ فَتَوَضَّأَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ثُمَّ صَبَّ وَضُوءَهُ عَلَيَّ فَأَفَقْتُ فَإِذَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فِي مَالِي؟ كَيْفَ أَقْضِي فِي مَالِي؟ فَلَمْ يُجِبْنِي بِشَيْءٍ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْمِيرَاثِ
✧ I heard Jābir b. ʿAbdullāh say: I fell ill with an illness, and the Prophet ﷺ came to visit me, along with Abū Bakr, both walking. They found me unconscious. The Prophet ﷺ performed ablution, then poured his ablution water over me, and I regained consciousness. There was the Prophet ﷺ, and I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what should I do with my wealth? How should I dispose of my wealth?" He did not answer me with anything until the verse of inheritance was revealed.
أَنَّ صَبِيًّا لاَبْنَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثَقُلَ فَبَعَثَتْ أُمُّهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ وَلَدِي فِي الْمَوْتِ فَقَالَ لِلرَّسُولِ اذْهَبْ فَقُلْ لَهَا إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَا أَخَذَ وَلَهُ مَا أَعْطَى وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ عِنْدَهُ إِلَى أَجْلٍ مُسَمًّى فَلْتَصْبِرْ وَلْتَحْتَسِبْ فَرَجَعَ الرَّسُولُ فَأَخْبَرَهَا فَبَعَثَتْ إِلَيْهِ تُقْسِمُ عَلَيْهِ لَمَا جَاءَ فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ مِنْهُمْ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ فَأَخَذَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الصَّبِيَّ فَوَضَعَهُ بَيْنَ ثَنْدُوَتَيْهِ وَلِصَدْرِهِ قَعْقَعَةٌ كَقَعْقَعَةِ الشَّنَّةِ فَدَمَعَتْ عَيْنَا رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ أَتَبْكِي وَأَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ؟ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا أَبْكِي رَحْمَةً لَهَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَرْحَمُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ إِلاَّ الرُّحَمَاءَ
✧ A child of the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became severely ill. His mother sent to the Prophet ﷺ, saying that her child was dying. He said to the messenger, "Go and tell her: To Allah belongs what He takes, and to Him belongs what He gives, and everything with Him is for a fixed term. Let her be patient and seek reward." The messenger returned and informed her. She sent to him, swearing that he should come. The Prophet ﷺ stood up with a group of his Companions, among them Saʿd b. ʿUbādah. The Prophet ﷺ took the child and placed him between his chest and upper chest, while his chest made a rattling sound like the rattling of an old waterskin. The eyes of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ flowed with tears. Saʿd said, "Do you weep while you are the Messenger of Allah?" He said, "I weep only as a mercy for her. Allah does not show mercy to His servants except the merciful."
أَنْ تَمَاثَلُوا فَلاَ نَدْعُو لَكَ بِشَيْءٍ
✧ That you have recovered, so we will not supplicate for anything for you.

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon a bedouin to visit him. He said, "No harm upon you; it is purification, if Allah wills." The bedouin said, "Rather, it is a fever boiling over an old man, to send him to the graves." He said, "Then yes."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَصْبَحَ الْيَوْمَ مِنْكُمْ صَائِمًا؟ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنَا قَالَ مَنْ عَادَ مِنْكُمُ الْيَوْمَ مَرِيضًا؟ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنَا قَالَ مَنْ شَهِدَ مِنْكُمُ الْيَوْمَ جَنَازَةً؟ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنَا قَالَ مَنْ أَطْعَمَ الْيَوْمَ مِسْكِينًا؟ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنَا قَالَ مَرْوَانُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَا اجْتَمَعَ هَذِهِ الْخِصَالُ فِي رَجُلٍ فِي يَوْمٍ إِلاَّ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ

He said, "Which of you attended a funeral today?" Abū Bakr said, "I am." He said, "Which of you fed a poor person today?" Abū Bakr said, "I am." Marwān said: It has reached me that the Prophet ﷺ said, "These qualities do not come together in a man in one day except that he enters Paradise."
عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى أُمِّ السَّائِبِ وَهِيَ تُزَفْزِفُ فَقَالَ مَا لَكِ؟ قَالَتِ الْحُمَّى أَخْزَاهَا اللَّهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَهْ لاَ تَسُبِّيهَا فَإِنَّهَا تُذْهِبُ خَطَايَا الْمُؤْمِنِ كَمَا يُذْهِبُ الْكِيرُ خَبَثَ الْحَدِيدِ
✧ Jābir said: The Prophet ﷺ entered upon Umm al-Sāʾib while she was shivering. He said, "What is with you?" She said, "The fever; may Allah disgrace it." The Prophet ﷺ said, "No. Do not curse it, for it removes the sins of the believer just as the bellows removes the dross of iron."
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ اسْتَطْعَمْتُكَ فَلَمْ تُطْعِمَنِي قَالَ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ وَكَيْفَ اسْتَطْعَمْتَنِي وَلَمْ أُطْعِمْكَ وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ؟ قَالَ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ عَبْدِي فُلاَنًا اسْتَطْعَمَكَ فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْهُ؟ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّكَ لَوْ كُنْتَ أَطْعَمْتَهُ لَوَجَدْتَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدِي؟ ابْنَ آدَمَ اسْتَسْقَيْتُكَ فَلَمْ تَسْقِنِي فَقَالَ يَا رَبِّ وَكَيْفَ أَسْقِيكَ وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ؟ فَيَقُولُ إِنَّ عَبْدِي فُلاَنًا اسْتَسْقَاكَ فَلَمْ تَسْقِهِ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّكَ لَوْ كُنْتَ سَقَيْتَهُ لَوَجَدْتَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدِي؟ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ مَرِضْتُ فَلَمْ تَعُدْنِي قَالَ يَا رَبِّ كَيْفَ أَعُودُكَ وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ؟ قَالَ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ عَبْدِي فُلاَنًا مَرِضَ فَلَوْ كُنْتَ عُدْتَهُ لَوَجَدْتَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدِي؟ أَوْ وَجَدْتَنِي عِنْدَهُ؟
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Allah says, "I asked you for food and you did not feed Me." He will say, "O Lord, how could You ask me for food and I did not feed You while You are the Lord of the worlds?" He will say, "Did you not know that My servant so-and-so asked you for food and you did not feed him? Did you not know that if you had fed him, you would have found that with Me? Son of Adam, I asked you for drink and you did not give Me to drink." He will say, "O Lord, how could I give You to drink while You are the Lord of the worlds?" He will say, "My servant so-and-so asked you for drink and you did not give him to drink. Did you not know that if you had given him to drink, you would have found that with Me? Son of Adam, I fell ill and you did not visit Me." He will say, "O Lord, how could I visit You while You are the Lord of the worlds?" He will say, "Did you not know that My servant so-and-so fell ill? If you had visited him, you would have found that with Me — or you would have found Me with him."

✧ The Prophet ﷺ said, "Three things are all duties of every Muslim: visiting the sick, attending funerals, and blessing a sneezer when he praises Allah, the Mighty and Majestic."

✧ Three men of Banu Sa'd narrated to me, each reporting from his father, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon Sa'd to visit him in Makkah. He wept, so he asked, "What makes you weep?" He replied, "I fear that I will die in the land from which I emigrated, as Sa'd died." He said, "O Allah, heal Sa'd," three times. Then he said, "I have much wealth, and only my daughter will inherit from me. Should I bequeath all my wealth?" He said, "No." He said, "Then two-thirds?" He said, "No." He said, "Then half?" He said, "No." He said, "Then a third?" He said, "A third, and a third is much. Your charity from your wealth is charity, and your spending on your family is charity, and what your wife eats from your food is charity for you. If you leave your family in good condition—or he said, in a good life—that is better than leaving them asking people for help." And he gestured with his hand.

"Every body is given the prayer to arise healthy among his people, yet death is nearer to him than his shoe-laces." And whenever Bilal’s (ra) fever subsided, he would recite, "Would that I know that I will ever spend a night in a valley surrounded by Izkhir and Jaleel (two kinds of sweet smelling grass). And that I will arrive one day to the waters of Majannah and observe (the mountains) Shamah and Tafeel" Ayshah (ra) went to the Prophet M, and informed him of what transpired with these two men. Thereupon, he made this supplication: "O Allah, make us love Madinah as dearly as we love Makkah, or more than that. O Allah! Make it healthy for us and bless for us it sa' and mudd. And remove its fever putting it in al-Juhfah"
