It is narrated from Abu Asma’ (may Allah have mercy on him), who said: “Whoever visits his sick Muslim brother is in the gardens of Paradise.” I asked Abu Qilabah: What does it mean to be in Paradise? He said: It means that he will receive the fruits of Paradise in return for it. I further asked: From whom does Abu Asma’ narrate this hadith? He said: From Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him), and he narrates it from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
