Etiquette of Visiting the Sick and the Supplication Made for Them

Question:
Also, he asks, Honorable Shaykh Salih, this questioner says: What is the transmitted supplication that the visitor to the sick person should say, and what are the appropriate words to say to the sick person?

Answer:
Yes, the transmitted supplication is to say: "There is no harm to you, recovery, if Allah wills. I ask Allah to heal you," and to repeat that seven times, "I ask Allah to heal you." He should be generous with the sick person, saying to him, "You are better now, you are fine today," and he should be generous with him and make him happy. He should not prolong his sitting with him so as to burden him, unless the sick person desires that, desiring him to sit with him. Also, he should not bother him with too many questions, because that is difficult for the sick person.
