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
