Hadith 237
Visiting the Ill
Abu Bakr ibn Hazm and Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir were some people from the mosque who visited 'Umar ibn al-Hakam ibn Rafi' al-Ansari. They said, "Abu Hafs! Relate to us!" He said, "I heard 'Abdullah say that he heard the Prophet, (ﷺ), say, "When someone visits a sick person, he dives into mercy to such an extent that when he sits with him, he settles in it."
حَدَّثَنَا قَيْسُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرِ بْنَ حَزْمٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، فِي نَاسٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَسْجِدِ، عَادُوا عُمَرَ بْنَ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ الأَنْصَارِيَّ، قَالُوا: يَا أَبَا حَفْصٍ، حَدِّثْنَا، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ: مَنْ عَادَ مَرِيضًا خَاضَ فِي الرَّحْمَةِ، حَتَّى إِذَا قَعَدَ اسْتَقَرَّ فِيهَا.
