Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

Visiting the sick

Whosoever amongst the companions became ill, the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) used to visit him. [Zadul Ma’ad]

The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sailam) had no day appointed for visiting the sick but he used to do so any time during the day and night as and when need arose. [Zadul Ma’ad]

Hadrat lbn’ Abbas (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that staying for a short time and making little noise when visiting an invalid is a part of the sunnah. [Mishkat]

While visiting the sick he used to sit by his head and ask, “How are you?” [Zadul Ma’ad]

While visiting the sick, the Holy Prophet (Saliallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) used to place his hand on his forehead and pulse. If he expressed a desire for anything, he arranged for it and used to say, ‘Whatever a sick person desires, give it to him unless it is harmful for him.” [Husn-e-Hasin]
