The Messenger of Allaah sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam commanded us: …To visit the sick, to follow the funeral processions, to say the relevant supplications upon sneezing, to fulfil ones oaths, to support the oppressed, to accept invitations (to food) and to spread the salutation of Salaam. (Bukhaari & Muslim) Visit the sick, feed the hungry, and (arrange for the) release of the captive. [Al-Bukhari]. The Messenger of Allaah sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam also said: Allaah will say on the Day of Judgment (to a person): O son of Aadam! I was sick and you did not visit Me! So the person will reply: O my Lord! How could I have visited You, while You are the Lord of the worlds? So He will say: Did you not know that My servant, so and so, was sick, yet you did not visit him? Did you not know that if you had visited him, you would have found Me with him?(Muslim). No Muslim visits another Muslim (at the time of sickness) in the morning, except that seventy thousand angels will (ask Allaah to) send peace upon him until that evening. And if he were to visit him in the evening, then seventy thousand angels will (ask Allaah to) send peace upon him until the next morning, and he will have fruits of Paradise (awaiting him). (Tirmithi) MASHALLAH When the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) visited any ailing member of his family, he would touch the sick person with his right hand and would supplicate: Allahumma Rabban-nasi, adhhibil-basa, washfi, Antash-Shafi, la shifaa illa shifauka, shifaan la yughadiru saqaman O Allah! the Rubb of mankind! Remove this disease and cure (him or her)! You are the Great Curer. There is no cure but through You, which leaves behind no disease.[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said, He who visits a sick person who is not on the point of death and supplicates seven times: Asalullahal-Azima Rabbal-Arshil-Azimi, an yashfiyaka (I beseech Allah the Great, the Rubb of the Great Throne, to heal you), Allah will certainly heal him from that sickness. [Abu Dawud and At- Tirmidhi]. It is recommended for the visitor to follow the example of the Prophet sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam when visiting the sick, such as stroking the sick person with ones right hand whilst saying: O Allaah! Lord of Mankind! Take away this pain. O Allaah! Cure him. You are the All-Curer: there is no remedy other than Yours, a remedy that never leaves the diseases. (Bukhaari & Muslim). Or one can say seven times: I ask Allaah the Exalted, the Lord of the Great Throne, to heal you. See Reference: At-Tirmithi, Abu Dawud. See also Al-Albani,Al-Haakim, Sahih At-Tirmithi 2/210 and Sahihul-Jami’ As-Saghir 5/180. It is also recommended that the visitor sits beside the head of the sick person, and that he makes encouraging remarks, giving him hope of speedy recovery and prolonged life. The Prophet sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam said: If you visit a sick person, then try to put him at ease by giving him hope (of prolonged life), for it does not change anything, but relaxes (and comforts) him. (Ibn Maajah & Tirmithi). It should be said to the sick person: Do not worry. It (i.e., the sickness) will be a purification (for you), Allaah willing. (Bukhaari). Also, one should ask the sick person to supplicate for him, as the Prophet sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam said: If you enter upon a sick person, then ask him to supplicate for you, for his supplication is like the supplications of the angels. (Ibn Maajah). May Allah cure all my brothers & sisters who are sick, Ameen. All Praises are for █▀█ █ █ █▀█ █▄█ █▀█ █ █ █▀█ █▀█; the Lord of the universe. **FREE TO TAG & SHARE :)** SHEIKH UMRAN
