Lesson on "Encouragement and Warning," Encouraging Visiting the Sick and Emphasizing It, and Encouraging Supplication for the Sick

The Shaykh : ... We praise Him, seek His help, and seek His forgiveness, and we seek refuge in Allah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whoever Allah guides, no one can mislead, and whoever He misleads, no one can guide. And I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger, , , . As for what follows:
Indeed, the best of speech is the speech of Allah, and the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), and the worst of matters are their innovations, and every innovation is a religious innovation, and every religious innovation is misguidance, and every misguidance is in the Fire.
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Encouraging Visiting the Sick and Emphasizing It, and Encouraging Supplication for the Sick.
The first hadith is one of the authentic hadiths. He said: It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . It was narrated by al-Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, and Ibn Majah. In a narration by Muslim: . It was said: What are they, O Messenger of Allah? He said: . Al-Tirmidhi and al-Nasa'i narrated it in similar terms.
So if there is room for standing close together, do so, may Allah reward you with good. Make it easy for your brothers... ease what is in your ability...
The Messenger (may the prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said: . Linguistically, "right" (haqq) is the established thing that does not admit of doubt. From the legal perspective, the term encompasses what is obligatory (fard), what is a recommended practice (sunnah), and what is recommended (mandub); all of these are rights established by the Shari'ah. So if a hadith like this one comes, stating that it is the right of a Muslim over a Muslim to return the greeting, or as in the other narration: ; this alone—meaning describing the returning of the greeting and its delivery as a "right"—does not definitively indicate that this right is obligatory (fard). Rather, if we want to rule that this thing, which is stated to be a legal right, is obligatory (fard), and that the one who leaves it off sins and is punished, it must have specific evidence. Mere being a "right" does not indicate obligation; because, as we mentioned, the meaning of "right" is the established thing by any mode of establishment; whether in the sense of obligation, or in the sense of being a recommended practice (sunnah), or in the sense of being recommended (mandub). Therefore, these matters listed in this hadith, whether in the first narration of the two Shaykhs or the other narration of Muslim; these differ in their rulings. Some of it is a confirmed recommended practice (sunnah muakkadah), some of it is a collective obligation (fard kifayah)—if some people perform it, it drops off the rest—and some of it is an individual obligation (fard 'ayn). Every issue among these issues must be researched scientifically to give it the appropriate ruling, whether obligatory (fard), recommended practice (sunnah), or recommended (mandub). Here we hear the hadith saying: .
