The one who visits the sick is in fact like one who is in the fruit garden of Paradise so long as he does not return.  

مسلم:٢٥٦٨aحَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ وَأَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِيَانِ ابْنَ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي أَسْمَاءَ عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ قَالَ

أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَفِي حَدِيثِ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَائِدُ الْمَرِيضِ فِي مَخْرَفَةِ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ
