Sunan Ibn Majah 1439 (Book 6, Hadith 7) #30791
Generosity and Kindness towards the Sick

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught us to be generous and kind to those in need, especially the sick.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that the Prophet visited a man and said: "What do you long for?" He said: "I long for wheat bread". The Prophet said: "Whoever has any wheat bread, let him send it to his brother". Then the Prophet said: "If any sick person among you longs for something, then feed him".
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَلاَّلُ، حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ هُبَيْرَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَكِينٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ ـ عَادَ رَجُلاً فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا تَشْتَهِي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَشْتَهِي خُبْزَ بُرٍّ ‏.‏ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ ‏"‏ مَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ خُبْزُ بُرٍّ فَلْيَبْعَثْ إِلَى أَخِيهِ ‏"‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ ‏"‏ إِذَا اشْتَهَى مَرِيضُ أَحَدِكُمْ شَيْئًا فَلْيُطْعِمْهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us about the importance of being generous and kind to those in need, especially the sick. It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that the Prophet (ﷺ) visited a man and asked him what he longed for. The man said he longed for wheat bread, so the Prophet (ﷺ) instructed anyone who had wheat bread to send it to his brother. He then went on to say that if any sick person among them longed for something, they should feed him. This hadith encourages us to be generous with our resources and show kindness towards those who are suffering from illness or hardship. We should not forget about our brothers in need but instead strive to help them as much as we can with whatever resources we have available.
