Mishkat al-Masabih #1447
Funerals
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ ثَوْبَانَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمَ إِذَا عَادَ أَخَاهُ الْمُسلم لم يزل فِي خُرْفَةِ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ» . رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ
Thauban reported God’s messenger as saying, “When a Muslim pays a sick visit to his brother Muslim he continues to gather the fruits of paradise till he returns.”
Muslim transmitted it.
