Al-Bara' bin `Azib (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
Messenger of Allah (PBUH) has ordered us to
visit the sick, to follow the funeral (of a dead believer), respond to the sneezer (i.e., by saying to him: Yarhamuk-
Allah after he says: Al-hamdu lillah), to help those who vow to fulfill it, to help the oppressed, to accept the
invitation extended by the inviter; and to promote greetings (i.e., saying As-Salamu `Alaikum).
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"Every
Muslim has five rights over another Muslim (i.e., he has to perform five duties for another Muslim): to return the
greetings, to visit the sick, to accompany funeral processions, to accept an invitation, to respond to the sneezer [i.e.,
to say: `Yarhamuk-Allah (may Allah bestow His Mercy on you),' when the sneezer praises Allah].''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"Verily, Allah,
the Exalted, and Glorious will say on the Day of Resurrection: `O son of Adam, I was ill but you did not visit Me.'
He would say: `O my Rubb, how could I visit you and You are the Rubb of the worlds?' Thereupon He would say:
`Did you not know that such and such a slave of Mine was ill but you did not visit him? Did you not realize that if
you had visited him (you would have known that I was aware of your visit to him, for which I would reward you)
you would have found Me with him? O son of Adam, I asked food from you but you did not feed Me.' He would
submit: `My Rubb, how could I feed You and You are the Rubb of the worlds?' He would say: `Did you not know
that such and such a slave of Mine asked you for food but you did not feed him? Did you not realize that if you had
fed him, you would certainly have found (its reward) with Me? O son of Adam, I asked water from you but you did
not give it to Me.' He would say: `My Rubb, how could I give You (water) and You are the Rubb of the worlds?'
Thereupon He would say: `Such and such a slave of Mine asked you for water to drink but you did not give it to
him. Did you not realize that if you had given him to drink you would have found (its reward) with Me?'''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
The person who is more beneficial to the slaves of Allah is loved most by Him. Allah likes it very
much if somebody serves His creatures and treats them well. He will give him the best reward for it. Here, one has
been urged in an effective and eloquent way to visit the sick and to treat the needy nicely.
