It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The complete manner of visiting a sick person is that one should place his hand on the patient's forehead or hand and then ask about his condition, and the complete greeting is that one should also shake hands.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would visit a sick person, he would make this supplication: "Remove the illness, Lord of the people, and grant healing, surely You are the Healer, there is no healing except Your healing, grant such a healing that leaves behind no sickness."

عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ عَلَى أَعْرَابِيٍّ يَعُودُهُ وَهُوَ مَحْمُومٌ فَقَالَ ((كَفَّارَةٌ وَطَهُورٌ)) فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ بَلْ حُمَّى تَفُورُ عَلَى شَيْخٍ كَبِيرٍ تُزِيرُهُ الْقُبُورَ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَتَرَكَهُ
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a Bedouin was suffering from fever. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to visit him and said: "It is an expiation and a purifier." But the Bedouin said: "No, rather it is a fever that is boiling over an old man and showing him the graves." Upon hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and left him.
