Al-Adab al-Mufrad 537 — Where Should the Visitor Sit?
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : ذَهَبْتُ مَعَ الْحَسَنِ إِلَى قَتَادَةَ نَعُودُهُ ، فَقَعَدَ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ ، فَسَأَلَهُ ، ثُمَّ دَعَا لَهُ ، قَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ اشْفِ قَلْبَهُ ، وَاشْفِ سَقَمَهُ.
It is narrated from Rabi' bin Abdullah (may Allah have mercy on him) that I went with Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) to visit Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) during his illness. He sat by his bedside and inquired about his condition, then prayed for him in these words: O Allah, heal his heart and grant him health from his illness.
