Sunan Ibn Majah 3441 (Book 31, Hadith 6) #32795
Visiting the Sick with Kindness

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ visited a sick person and asked if they wanted anything, offering them cake.

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: "The Prophet went to visit a sick person, and said: 'Do you want anything? Do you want cake?’ He said: 'Yes.’ So they looked for some for him".
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَحْيَى الْحِمَّانِيُّ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ الرَّقَاشِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ عَلَى مَرِيضٍ يَعُودُهُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ أَتَشْتَهِي شَيْئًا أَتَشْتَهِي كَعْكًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ فَطَلَبُوا لَهُ
