اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " مَنْ أَتَى أَخَاهُ الْمُسْلِمَ عَائِدًا ، مَشَى فِي خَرَافَةِ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى يَجْلِسَ ، فَإِذَا جَلَسَ غَمَرَتْهُ الرَّحْمَةُ ، فَإِنْ كَانَ غُدْوَةً صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ مَسَاءً صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ " .
´It was narrated that ‘Ali said:` “I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘Whoever comes to his Muslim brother and visits him (when he is sick), he is walking among the harvest of Paradise until he sits down, and when he sits down he is covered with mercy. If it is morning, seventy thousand angels will send blessing upon him until evening, and if it is evening, seventy thousand angels will send blessing upon him until morning.’”

Benefits and Issues:
➊ Visiting a Muslim brother who is ill is such a meritorious deed that walking for this purpose is equivalent to walking in the gardens of Paradise and picking the fruits of Paradise. Due to the immense reward of this action, it can be hoped that Allah, the Exalted, will admit such a person into Paradise.
➋ Sitting by the patient for the purpose of visiting (ʿiyadah) becomes a means of Allah’s mercy.
➌ The angels’ supplication for mercy for this person also indicates his elevated status. And in this is glad tidings of Allah’s mercy, because the angels only supplicate for good for someone by Allah’s command.
