There are so many blessings in visiting the sick, we should be aware of it, and follow the advice of our Beloved,
“When the Muslim visits his (sick) Muslim brother, he is harvesting the fruits of Paradise until he returns.” (Narrated by Muslim, 2568.)
“Whoever visits a sick person or visits a brother in Islam, a caller cries out to him: ‘May you be happy, may your walking be blessed, and may you occupy a dignified position in Paradise’.” (al-Tirmidhi.)
The Messenger of Allâh (peace and blessings of Allâh be upon him) said:
“Whoever visits a sick person is plunging into mercy until he sits down, and when he sits down he is submerged in it.”
Al-Tirmidhi (969) narrated that ‘Ali (may Allâh be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allâh (peace and blessings of Allâh be upon him) say:
“There is no Muslim who visits a (sick) Muslim early in the morning but seventy thousand angels send blessings upon him until evening comes, and if he visits him in the evening, seventy thousand angels send blessings upon him until morning comes, and he will have a garden in Paradise.” (al-Tirmidhi. )
I am not muslim. I work and volunteer in long term care and hospice. The joy and comfort brought by a visit to the sick and dieing is a reward by it's self.
