فضل عيادة المريض

1. قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: إِذَا عَادَ الرَّجُلُ أَخَاهُ الْمُسْلِمَ مَشَى فِي خِرَافَةِ 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.

   The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “When a man visits his Muslim brother, he walks gathering the fruits of Paradise until he sits; once he sits, mercy covers him. If it is morning, seventy thousand angels pray for him until evening; if it is evening, seventy thousand angels pray for him until morning.”
