28. Chapters on Medicine

Anas bin Malik narrated that the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) said:

"The parable of the ill when he is cured and becomes healthy is that of hail that falls from the heavens in its purity and its color."

Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri narrated that the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) said:

"When one of you visits the ill, then reassure him regarding his lifespan. Indeed that will not repel anything, but it will comfort his soul."

Abu Hurairah narrated that the Prophet(S.A.W) visited a man who was ill, so he said:

"Cheer up, for indeed Allah said: 'It is My Fire which I impose upon My sinning slave as his portion of the Fire." (Hasan) Al-Hasan said: "They would hope that the fever that occurred at night would atone for any deficiency caused by sins."
