There are many ahaadeeth which speak of its virtue, such as the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “When the Muslim visits his (sick) Muslim brother, he is harvesting the fruits of Paradise until he returns.” Narrated by Muslim, 2568.
The reward attained by the one who visits the sick is likened to the harvest reaped by one who gathers fruit.
According to al-Tirmidhi (2008), the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever visits a sick person or visits a brother in Islam, a caller cries out to him: ‘May you be happy, may your walking be blessed, and may you occupy a dignified position in Paradise’.” Classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.
Length of the visit
While patients enjoy some company, it’s highly recommended that you make it short and sweet. Inpatients in
particular wake up early and sleep early, and medication may wear them out. Unless you are a
very close friend, be a light guest; try not
to stay for more than 20-30 minutes (or less), depending on how well they are. In addition, don’t act uncomfortably if there are no
chairs or if it’s too hot, for example, and try to minimize chatter if the person looks too tired to
engage in conversation. Avoid bringing your children if they are too young or you will end up
disturbing other patients.
