حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ يُونُسَ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا تُكْرِهُوا مَرْضَاكُمْ عَلَى الطَّعَامِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يُطْعِمُهُمْ وَيَسْقِيهِمْ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ ، لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ .
´Uqbah bin Amir Al-Juhani narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:` "Do not force your sick to eat, for indeed Allah, Blessed and Most High, provides them food and drink."(Dai'f)

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
Our researcher has declared the mentioned narration to be weak in its chain of transmission.
However, Imam Tirmidhi and Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah have graded it as hasan (good) due to other supporting evidences.
And their opinion appears to be correct.
And Allah knows best.
For details, see (al-Sahihah of al-Albani, no. 727).
➋
Food suitable for a healthy person is not beneficial for a sick person.
Therefore, they should not be given heavy food.
➌
If the patient does not feel inclined to eat or drink, do not be harsh with them.
Because food given by force causes harm rather than benefit.
➍
Through appropriate encouragement, light and easily digestible food can be given.
So that strength may be maintained.
➎
Allah ta‘ala feeds and gives drink to the sick person.
This means that they do not need food and drink like a healthy person.
