Hadith of the week (Visiting the Sick)

Aslamualaykum,



899. `Ali bin Abu Talib (R.A.A.) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) saying, "When a Muslim visits a sick Muslim at dawn, seventy thousand angels keep on praying for him till dusk. If he visits him in the evening, seventy thousand angels keep on praying for him till the morning; and he will have (his share of) reaped fruits in Jannah.''



(Tirmizi)



Commentary: Both, this Hadith and the preceding one, lay stress on the virtue of visiting a sick person so as to obtain the Divine reward. The Hadith mentions "dawn'' and "evening'' to mean at all times, and not necessarily at those particular times.
