Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – What to Say to a Sick Person (Hadith Commentary from Zad alTalibin)

The next Hadith for today's Hadith number 261 provisions for the

secrets are eaten by mountain movie and if no matter in this the

Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says either the Hulten

adult Murray further fistula when a fistula houfy Actually, finally

kala Yara che and when you taught by a bit of sci fi in a vertical,

your audition where you thought he will be enough see

what that means when you go to visit the URL, the Promise of

Allah Simpson when you go to visit the URL, he's expressing some of

the add up for visiting the ill people expressed belief that the

person will live long. So essentially it say some positive

words to him that don't worry. May Allah subhanaw taala give you a

long life. May Allah subhanho wa Taala make you better. May Allah

subhanho wa Taala give you greater endurance, so it's to give those

kind of doors. Then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said

that although you're making such a dua is not necessarily going to

avert anything that is supposed to come to that person, that if there

is an illness or death that is supposed to come to the person

very soon, this cannot revert it averted.

It will comfort the person so that comfort is taken into

consideration here. And because we don't really know and you know,

you might be saying that, well, why could Why should you be saying

that when you don't really know? Well, that's the whole point. You

can take a positive aspects of something that is unknown. So it's

unknown when the person is going to die is permissible to say to

the person that may Allah give you a longer life, Inshallah, don't

worry you live longer. So it's to say those kinds of words to make

them feel better, so that they can feel good and when they feel good,

then they can act better. They can have better opinion about Allah

subhanaw taala as well. When a person becomes depressed and

shaytaan sometimes has a inroads with to that person and that's why

it's important to do it that way.

So saying like no problem, inshallah you will be better soon

or May Allah increase your life cure you grungy well being

be easy with yourself cheer up.

Because, for example, somebody came to Harun Rashid, the

ambassador Khalif, when he was ill, and said to him, Be easy with

yourself and cheer up

for being healthy does not preclude death.

And illness does not preclude long life.

What do you say to him, he said, Be easy with yourself, go easy on

yourself and cheer up. Because

even if you're healthy, that doesn't preclude death, a healthy

person can die as well. And likewise,

if a person is ill, it doesn't mean that the person is going to

have a short life, he could continue to have a long life. So

he was trying to remind him that being healthy or ill is not the

cause for death. So be cheerful, you're not going to necessarily

die. So it's kind of a very clever way to put it 100 Rashid said, By

Allah you have cheered me up, and you revive my spirit.

There is another Dourado, which just that he has related that when

you make dua,

then although it can't avert the decree as exactly as what the

Prophet salallahu Salam said here, but what it mentions is that it

remains locked into battle with that decree.

So that's a bit of a gray area that we will never know about,

because it's a the aspect of God and decree that we can never know

about.

The only Allah subhanaw taala has full knowledge of these things.

But we're told to make dua we're told to make it in this case,

though, we're just saying good words to the person to make them

feel better to get them out of their misery, the way they're

feeling down, making them feeling a bit better. That's what this

that's what this hadith is encouraging
