Musnad Ahmad 955 (Book 5, Hadith 380) #34606
The Reward for Visiting a Sick Muslim

SUMMARY: Visiting a sick Muslim is an act of kindness that will be rewarded by Allah.

It was narrated from 'Amr bin Huraith that he visited Hasan when he was sick and 'Ali was with him'.Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: Are you visiting Hasan during his sickness when you feel what you feel? He said to him. Yes; you are not the Lord of my heart, to direct it as you will'.Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: That does not prevent me from giving you advice, I heard the Messenger of Allah say: "There is no Muslim who visits a sick Muslim, but Allah will send to him seventy thousand angels who will send blessings upon him from whatever hour of the day it is until evening comes, and from whatever hour of the night it is until morning comes'.
حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، وَعَفَّانُ، قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، قَالَ عَفَّانُ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ حُرَيْثٍ، أَنَّهُ عَادَ حَسَنًا وَعِنْدَهُ عَلِيٌّ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَتَعُودُ حَسَنًا وَفِي النَّفْسِ مَا فِيهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ إِنَّكَ لَسْتَ بِرَبِّ قَلْبِي فَتَصْرِفَهُ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَا يَمْنَعُنِي أَنْ أُؤَدِّيَ إِلَيْكَ النَّصِيحَةَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَعُودُ مُسْلِمًا إِلَّا ابْتَعَثَ اللَّهُ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِ أَيَّ سَاعَةٍ مِنْ النَّهَارِ كَانَتْ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ وَأَيَّ سَاعَةٍ مِنْ اللَّيْلِ كَانَتْ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of visiting a sick person, especially if they are a fellow Muslim. It was narrated from 'Amr bin Huraith that he visited Hasan when he was ill and Ali was with him. Ali asked why Amr would visit Hasan despite feeling what he felt, to which Amr replied that it wasn’t up to Ali to direct his heart as he wished. In response, Ali reminded him of the words of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ who said “There is no Muslim who visits a [sick] Muslim, but Allah will send to him seventy thousand angels who will send blessings upon him from whatever hour of the day it is until evening comes, and from whatever hour of the night it is until morning comes." This hadith teaches us that visiting someone in sickness can bring great reward from Allah in terms of blessings and mercy. It also shows us how important it is for Muslims to look out for one another in times of need and difficulty.
