Silsilah as-Sahihah 2270 — Virtue of fasting, visiting the sick

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked: "Who among you is fasting today?" Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I am." He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked: "Who among you has visited a sick person today?" Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I have." He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked: "Who among you has attended a funeral prayer today?" Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I have." He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked: "Who has fed a poor person today?" Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I have." Marwan says that it has reached me that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) finally said: "Whoever combines these qualities in a single day will enter Paradise."
