Visiting the sick is a virtuous act.
مریض کی عیادت ضروری ہے
The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said, ‘Allah, the Mighty and Exalted, will say on the Day of Resurrection, ‘O son of Adam, I was ill and you did not visit Me.’ The man will say, ‘O Lord, how could I visit You when You are the Lord of the worlds?’ He will say, ‘Do you not know that My slave so-and-so was ill and you did not visit him? Do you not know that if you had visited him, you would have found Me with him?’ Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim: 6556
صحیح مسلم: 6556

رسول الله صلی الله علیه وسلم نے فرمایا: قیامت کے دن الله تعالیٰ فرمائے گا۔ اے ابن آدم! میں بیمار ہوا تو تُو نے میری عیادت کیوں نه کی؟ وه کہے گا اے میرے رب! میں تیری عیادت کیسے کرتا تُو تو رب العالمین ہے؟ الله تعالیٰ فرمائے گا: کیا تجھے علم نه تھا که میرا فلاں بنده بیمار ہے؟ لیکن تو نے اس کی عیادت نہیں کی۔ کیا تجھے علم نہیں تھا که اگر تو اس مریض کی عیادت کرتا تو مجھے اس کے پاس پاتا۔ (صحیح مسلم: 6556)
