قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَصْبَحَ الْيَوْمَ مِنْكُمْ صَائِمًا؟ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنَا قَالَ مَنْ عَادَ مِنْكُمُ الْيَوْمَ مَرِيضًا؟ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنَا قَالَ مَنْ شَهِدَ مِنْكُمُ الْيَوْمَ جَنَازَةً؟ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنَا قَالَ مَنْ أَطْعَمَ الْيَوْمَ مِسْكِينًا؟ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنَا قَالَ مَرْوَانُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَا اجْتَمَعَ هَذِهِ الْخِصَالُ فِي رَجُلٍ فِي يَوْمٍ إِلاَّ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ  

Jabir said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, visited Umm as-Sa'ib while she was sighing. He asked, 'What is wrong with you?' 'The fever,' she replied, "May Allah debase it!'

عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى أُمِّ السَّائِبِ وَهِيَ تُزَفْزِفُ فَقَالَ مَا لَكِ؟ قَالَتِ الْحُمَّى أَخْزَاهَا اللَّهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَهْ لاَ تَسُبِّيهَا فَإِنَّهَا تُذْهِبُ خَطَايَا الْمُؤْمِنِ كَمَا يُذْهِبُ الْكِيرُ خَبَثَ الْحَدِيدِ  

'I asked you for food and you did not feed Me. He (His slave) will say, 'Lord, how could I feed You when You did not ask me for food and You are the Lord of the universe?' He will say, 'Do you not know that My slave so-and-so asked you for food and you did not feed him? Do you not know that if you had fed him, you would have found that action with Me? Son of Adam, I asked you for water and you did not give Me water.' The slave will reply, 'O Lord, how could I give you water when You are the Lord of the universe?' He will say, 'My slave so-and-so asked you for water and you did not give him water. Do you not know that if you had given him water, you would have found that action with Me? Son of Adam, I was ill and you did not visit Me.' He will say, 'O Lord, how could I visit You when You are the Lord of the universe?' He will say, 'Do you not know that My slave so-and-so was ill. If you had visited him you would have found that action with Me (or you would have found Me with him)."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ اسْتَطْعَمْتُكَ فَلَمْ تُطْعِمَنِي قَالَ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ وَكَيْفَ اسْتَطْعَمْتَنِي وَلَمْ أُطْعِمْكَ وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ؟ قَالَ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ عَبْدِي فُلاَنًا اسْتَطْعَمَكَ فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْهُ؟ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّكَ لَوْ كُنْتَ أَطْعَمْتَهُ لَوَجَدْتَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدِي؟ ابْنَ آدَمَ اسْتَسْقَيْتُكَ فَلَمْ تَسْقِنِي فَقَالَ يَا رَبِّ وَكَيْفَ أَسْقِيكَ وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ؟ فَيَقُولُ إِنَّ عَبْدِي فُلاَنًا اسْتَسْقَاكَ فَلَمْ تَسْقِهِ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّكَ لَوْ كُنْتَ سَقَيْتَهُ لَوَجَدْتَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدِي؟ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ مَرِضْتُ فَلَمْ تَعُدْنِي قَالَ يَا رَبِّ كَيْفَ أَعُودُكَ وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ؟ قَالَ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ عَبْدِي فُلاَنًا مَرِضَ فَلَوْ كُنْتَ عُدْتَهُ لَوَجَدْتَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدِي؟ أَوْ وَجَدْتَنِي عِنْدَهُ؟  

Abu Sa'id reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Visit the sick. Follow funeral processions. Remind yourselves of the Next World."

to visit the sick, to attend funerals, and to say, 'may Allah have mercy on you' when someone sneezes if he praises Allah Almighty."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ ثَلاَثٌ كُلُّهُنَّ حَقٌّ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ عِيَادَةُ الْمَرِيضِ وَشُهُودُ الْجَنَازَةِ وَتَشْمِيتُ الْعَاطِسِ إِذَا حَمِدَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
