Sunan Abi Dawud 3107 (Book 21, Hadith 19) #23397
Visiting the Sick with Intention

SUMMARY: Visiting a sick person should be done with the intention of praying for their recovery so that they can do good deeds in the service of Allah.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As: The Prophet said: When a man comes to visit a sick person, he should say: O Allah, cure Thy servant, who may then wreak havoc on an enemy for your sake, or walk at a funeral for your sake. Abu Dawud said: Ibn As-Sarh (one of the narrators) said: "Ilas-salat (To the Salat)".
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ حُيَىِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ إِذَا جَاءَ الرَّجُلُ يَعُودُ مَرِيضًا فَلْيَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ اشْفِ عَبْدَكَ يَنْكَأُ لَكَ عَدُوًّا أَوْ يَمْشِي لَكَ إِلَى جَنَازَةٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ ابْنُ السَّرْحِ ‏"‏ إِلَى صَلاَةٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us to visit those who are sick and pray for their recovery, not just out of compassion but also with an intention to do good deeds in the service of Allah. When we visit someone who is ill, we should make du'a for them that they may recover and be able to perform acts of worship such as attending funerals or fighting against enemies in battle. We should remember that our prayers are powerful and can help those around us. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us this important lesson so that we may use it to benefit ourselves and others.
