The reward for visiting a sick Muslim

Question:

"On the authority of 'Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may peace and blessings be upon him, say: "There is no Muslim who visits a (sick) Muslim in the early morning except that seventy thousand angels send Salaah upon him (seek forgiveness for him[1]) until he reaches the evening, and if he visits him in the evening seventy thousand angels send Salaah upon him...[2]"

Answer:

"It seems that this is specific for illness. Because the sick is the one who is in need of visit; (so that) he becomes happy in the company of his (Muslim) brother, rejoices when seeing him, and he (the visitor) bandages his wounds, comforts him during his calamity, helps him to remain patient, he (the sick) is in need of advice, he (the visitor) helps him to settle his debt and other than that. On the other hand there is (undoubtedly) virtue in a Muslim visiting his Muslim brother, however its virtue; the virtue of visiting the sick is greater."

السؤال: عن علي -رضي الله عنه- قال: سمعت رسول الله -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يقول: "ما من مسلم يعود مسلما غدوة، إلا صلى عليه سبعون ألف ملك حتى يمسي، وإن عاده عشية صلى عليه سبعون ألف ملك..."؟

الجواب: يظهر أن هذا خاص بالمرض؛ لأن المريض هو الذي يحتاج إلى الزيارة والعيادة، يستأنس بأخيه، يفرح برؤيته له، يضمد جراحه، يسليه بمصيبته، يعينه على الصبر، يحتاج إلى وصية، يعنيه على يعني قضاء دينه وغير ذلك، أما غيره ففي فضل زيارة المسلم لأخيه فيها فضل؛ لكن فضله، فضل عيادة المريض أكثر
