Al-Adab Al-Mufrad #532
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 زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي الْوَلِيدُ هُوَ ابْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ الأَنْصَارِيُّ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ أُمَّ الدَّرْدَاءِ، عَلَى رِحَالِهَا أَعْوَادٌ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهَا غِشَاءٌ، عَائِدَةً لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَسْجِدِ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ.
Al-Harith ibn 'Abdullah al-Ansari said, "I saw Umm ad-Darda' going to visit (a sick) Ansari man from the mosque and she was on her mount in an uncovered howdah."
