Entry: Supplications and Dua When Visiting the Sick Friday, January 18, 2008



Assalamualaikum wbt,



since I am still sick and not feeling well, I'll post about Supplications or Duas when visiting the sick.


When someone is critically ill:
 
 
When someone is so critically ill that there is no hope for his recovery, under no circumstances should he (or she) pray for his (or her) death. But if one must, then one should recite the following dua:
 
Allah-humma ah-yini ma kaanatil hayaatu khairall-lee wa tawaff-fani i-dha kaanatil wa faato khai-rall-lee.
 
Translation: O Allah, keep me alive so long as it is in my best interest and give me death when it is in my best interest.

 

When visiting the sick



La ba'sa tahoorun inshaa-Allah. La ba'sa tahoorun inshaa-Allah.


Translation: No need to worry. It (this sickness) is a means of cleansing from sins. No need to worry. It (this sickness) is a means of cleansing from sins.

Among the manners of visiting the sick according to the Fiqh Sunnah Book/ Kitab are:

  1. Pray for the sick ones to get well soon
  2. Advice him/her to be patient and strong
  3. Give encouraging and motivational speeches that can entertain and strengthen his/her heart. For eg: 'Don't worry, Insya Allah you'll be okay soon'.
  4. Cut short your visiting period
  5. Not to visit frequently, unless there is a special request from the sick ones.
  6. It is permissible for women to visit a sick man. Quote: Aishah RA had once visited Bilal Bin Rabah who has undergone high fever.
  7. It is also allowed to visit our non-muslims friends who are sick               (written in Al- Bukhari Hadith )
