Sunan Ibn Majah 1438 (Book 6, Hadith 6) #30790
Cheering Up the Sick

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised people to give hope and cheer up those who are sick, as it will make them feel better even though it does not change the Divine Decree.

It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allah said: "When you enter upon one who is sick, cheer him up and give him hope of a long life, for that does not change anything (of the Divine Decree), but it will cheer the heart of the one who is sick".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ السَّكُونِيُّ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ إِذَا دَخَلْتُمْ عَلَى الْمَرِيضِ فَنَفِّسُوا لَهُ فِي الأَجَلِ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ لاَ يَرُدُّ شَيْئًا وَهُوَ يَطِيبُ بِنَفْسِ الْمَرِيضِ

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught us that when we visit someone who is ill, we should try to cheer them up and give them hope of a long life. This means that we should be kind and encouraging towards those who are unwell, even if their illness is serious. Even though this does not change the Divine Decree, it will still make the person feel better in their heart. This hadith teaches us to be compassionate towards others in times of difficulty and reminds us that our words can have a powerful effect on people's wellbeing.
