The merit of visiting the sick

Arabic text

قال صلى الله عليه وسلم : إذا عاد الرجل أخاه المسلم مشى في خرافة الجنة حتى يجلس فإذا جلس غمرته الرحمة ، فإن كان غدوة صلى عليه سبعون ألف ملك حتى يمسي ، وإن كان مساء صلى عليه سبعون ألف ملك حتى يصبح

Translation

The Prophet ﷺ said: "When a man visits his Muslim brother, he walks in a meadow of Paradise until he sits; and when he sits, mercy envelops him: if he visits in the morning, seventy thousand angels pray upon him until evening; and if he visits in the evening, seventy thousand angels pray upon him until morning."
