WE RELATE FROM the books of at-Tirmidhī and Ibn Mājah with a weak isnād from Abū Sa‘īd al-Khudrī
, who reported that the Messenger of Allah
said: “When you visit a sick person, remove his anxiety about the hour of his death, for it will not delay anything but will put his mind at ease.” [1].The hadith in a previous chapter from Ibn ‘Abbās
—“No harm, but a purification”—supports this.
