حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ غُلاَمًا مِنَ الْيَهُودِ كَانَ يَخْدُمُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَمَرِضَ، فَأَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَعُودُهُ، فَقَعَدَ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ فَقَالَ: أَسْلِمْ، فَنَظَرَ إِلَى أَبِيهِ، وَهُوَ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: أَطِعْ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَأَسْلَمَ، فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَنْقَذَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ.
Anas reported that a Jewish boy used to serve the Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace. The boy became ill and the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, went to visit him. He sat by his
head and said, "Become a Muslim." The boy looked at his father who was
also sitting by his head. His father said to him, "Obey Abu'l-Qasim (may
Allah bless him and grant him peace)." So the boy became a Muslim. The
Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, left saying, "Praise
be to Allah who has saved him from the Fire!"
'Ata' said, "Ibn 'Umar visited Ibn Safwan and the time came for
the prayer. So Ibn 'Umar prayed two rak'ats with them and then observed,
'I am travelling.'"
Narrated 'A'isha (ra) said, "When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came to Madina, Abu Bakr (ra) and Bilal (ra) came down with a fever. I visited them and asked, 'Father, how are you? Bilal, how are you?' When Abu Bakr's (ra) fever worsened, he said:
"Every body is given the prayer to arise healthy among his people, yet death is nearer to him than his shoe-laces." And whenever Bilal’s (ra) fever subsided, he would recite, "Would that I know that I will ever spend a night in a valley surrounded by Izkhir and Jaleel (two kinds of sweet smelling grass). And that I will arrive one day to the waters of Majannah and observe (the mountains) Shamah and Tafeel" Ayshah (ra) went to the Prophet M, and informed him of what transpired with these two men. Thereupon, he made this supplication: "O Allah, make us love Madinah as dearly as we love Makkah, or more than that. O Allah! Make it healthy for us and bless for us it sa' and mudd. And remove its fever putting it in al-Juhfah"
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, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, 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."
