I have taken
Hadith's from Riyad us salaheen in this regard & may Allah (swt)
guide us to the right path! Ameen
894. Al-Bara' bin
`Azib (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
Messenger of Allah (PBUH) has ordered
us to visit the sick, to
follow the funeral (of a dead believer), respond to the sneezer
(i.e., by saying to him: Yarhamuk-Allah after he says: Al-hamdu
lillah), to help those who vow to fulfill it, to help the oppressed,
to accept the invitation extended by the
inviter; and to promote greetings (i.e.,
saying As-Salamu `Alaikum). [Al-Bukhari
and Muslim].
895. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be
pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"Every Muslim has five rights over another Muslim (i.e., he has
to perform five duties for another Muslim): to return the greetings,
to
visit the sick,
to accompany funeral processions, to
accept an invitation, to respond to the sneezer [i.e., to say:
`Yarhamuk-Allah (may Allah bestow His Mercy on you),' when the
sneezer praises Allah].'' [Al-Bukhari
and Muslim].
897. Abu Musa (May Allah be
pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"Visit the sick, feed the
hungry, and (arrange for the) release of the captive.'' [Al-Bukhari].
898. Thauban (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet (PBUH) said, "He
who visits his brother in Faith, will remain engaged in picking the
fresh fruits from the garden of Jannah till he returns.'' [Muslim].
899. `Ali bin Abu Talib (May Allah be pleased with
him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying,
"When a Muslim visits a sick
Muslim at dawn, seventy thousand angels keep on praying for him till
dusk. If he visits him in the evening, seventy thousand angels keep
on praying for him till the morning; and he will have (his share of)
reaped fruits in Jannah.'' [At-Tirmidhi].
900. Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A
young Jewish boy who was in the service of the Prophet (PBUH) fell
ill. The Prophet (PBUH) went to visit him. He
sat down by his head and said to him, "Embrace Islam.'' The
little boy looked at his father who was sitting beside him. He said:
"Obey Abul-Qasim (i.e., the Messenger of Allah (PBUH)).''
So he embraced Islam and the Prophet ?ped out
saying, "Praise be to Allah Who has saved him from
Hell-fire.'' [Al-Bukhari].
