Hadith 3097
Narrated Anas ibn Malik: The Prophet ﷺ said: If anyone performs ablution well and pays a sick-visit to his brother Muslim seeking his reward from Allah, he will be removed a distance of sixty years (kharif) from Hell. I asked: What is kharif, Abu Hamzah? He replied: A year. Abu Dawud said: Only the people of Basrah have narrated the tradition on visiting the sick after performing ablution.
Hadith 3098
حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا
شُعْبَةُ ، عَنِ
الْحَكَمِ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ
عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : " مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَعُودُ مَرِيضًا مُمْسِيًا ، إِلَّا خَرَجَ مَعَهُ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لَهُ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ ، وَكَانَ لَهُ خَرِيفٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ ، وَمَنْ أَتَاهُ مُصْبِحًا ، خَرَجَ مَعَهُ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لَهُ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ ، وَكَانَ لَهُ خَرِيفٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ " .
Narrated Ali: If a man visits a patient in the evening, seventy thousand angels come along with him seeking forgiveness from Allah for him till the morning, and he will have a garden in the Paradise.
