Visiting the Ill
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الأَشْعَثِ الصَّنْعَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي أَسْمَاءَ قَالَ: مَنْ عَادَ أَخَاهُ كَانَ فِي خُرْفَةِ الْجَنَّةِ، قُلْتُ لأَبِي قِلاَبَةَ: مَا خُرْفَةُ الْجَنَّةِ؟ قَالَ: جَنَاهَا، قُلْتُ لأَبِي قِلاَبَةَ: عَنْ مَنْ حَدَّثَهُ أَبُو أَسْمَاءَ؟ قَالَ: عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نحوه.
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.
