Al-Adab Al-Mufrad #526
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 سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ غُلاَمًا مِنَ الْيَهُودِ كَانَ يَخْدُمُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَمَرِضَ، فَأَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَعُودُهُ، فَقَعَدَ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ فَقَالَ: أَسْلِمْ، فَنَظَرَ إِلَى أَبِيهِ، وَهُوَ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: أَطِعْ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَأَسْلَمَ، فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَنْقَذَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ.
Anas reported that a Jewish boy used to serve the Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace. The boy became ill and the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, went to visit him. He sat by his
head and said, "Become a Muslim." The boy looked at his father who was
also sitting by his head. His father said to him, "Obey Abu'l-Qasim (may
Allah bless him and grant him peace)." So the boy became a Muslim. The
Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, left saying, "Praise
be to Allah who has saved him from the Fire!"
