VISITING THE SICK :

THE PROPHETS GUIDANCE ON TREATING  THE SICK BY ENCOURAGING THEM AND STRENGTHENING THEIR RESOLVE


Ibn Majah narrated tha Abu Sai'd Al-Khudri R.A said,The Messenger of Allah S.A.W said :


"When you visit a sick person ,say good words to him ,for the sake of Allah for although that does not prevent any harm,it still brings relief o the patient's heart" Al-Tirmidhi also narrated the Hadith

This Hadith contains one of the most honorable remedies , that is, relieving the anxiety of the sick with some good words that will enhance his resolve and strength.In this case,the inner energy wold be elevated and would help the body against the disease,which is the best doctor could wish for.
Relieving the anxiety of the sick person and bringing relief to his heart has a surprisingly good effect in curing the body and lessening the effects of an ailment.it will also bring strength to the heart and he soul of the sick person,further encouraging the body to fight the disease.People have witnessed the sick feel refreshed and energized in the company of those they like and respect when they visit them.This is one of the benefits gained from visiting the sick,which carries four types of benefits : for the sick person,the visitor,the sick person's family and he general public.
We mentioned before that the Prophet S.A.W used to ask the sick about what they complain from and how they felt.He would also ask them about what they had a taste for and would place his hand on the forehead,or even on the chest,asking Allah to bring about whatever benefits them in their condition.Sometimes,the Prophet S.A.W would perform ablution and then pour the water he used on the sick person.Sometimes ,the Prophet S.A.W would say to the sick person:

"it is alright .You will be purified(cured) ,Allah willing'
This indeed ,is the kindest way to treat the sick when visiting them.
