Secret of Earning More Reward (Sawāb)

·         If I deliberately say ‘yes’ to any prevention advised by my physician, then I will keep my word.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب        صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

69. Intentions of visiting a sick person

·         I will pay a visit to a sick person for the pleasure of     Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

·         I will say to the sick person: لَا بَأۡسَ طَهُوۡرٌ اِنۡ شَآءَ اللّٰه.[1]

·         I will give a booklet etc., to the sick in order to please him. If possible, I will leave some booklets with him so that he can distribute them amongst those who come to see him.

·         I will console him and avoid saying despairing things.

·         I will avoid asking unnecessary questions about his disease and treatment.

·         I will not stay there for a long time.

·         I will request him to make Du’ā for me.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب        صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

 

 



[1] Translation: There is nothing wrong with this. If Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ) wills, this illness will purify you from sins. (Ṣaḥīḥ Bukhārī, vol. 2, pp. 505, Ḥadīš 3616)
