Jami at-Tirmidhi 2040 (Book 28, Hadith 5) #27673
Caring for the Sick

SUMMARY: Do not force a sick person to eat or drink, as Allah will provide them with food and drink.

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)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ يُونُسَ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لاَ تُكْرِهُوا مَرْضَاكُمْ عَلَى الطَّعَامِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تبارك و تعالى يُطْعِمُهُمْ وَيَسْقِيهِمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that we should be kind and caring towards those who are sick. We should not force them to eat or drink anything, as Allah will provide for them. It is important to remember that when someone is ill, they may not have the same appetite as they usually do, so it is important to respect their wishes and not pressure them into eating something they don't want. We should also remember that Allah will take care of those who are ill and provide for their needs in His own way. This hadith reminds us of the importance of being compassionate towards those who are suffering from illness and shows us how we can help by respecting their wishes without forcing anything upon them.
