'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.'"
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."
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!"
Abu Qilaba reported from Abu'l-Ash'ath as-San'ani that Abu Asma'
said, "Whoever visits his brother is in a tent of the Garden." I (the transmitter)
asked Abu Qilaba, "What is the tent of the Garden?" "Its fruits," he replied.
I said to Abu Qilaba, "From whom did Asma' transmit?" "From Thawban from
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace," he replied.
