The Shaykh : And the hadith following that, which is also authentic, clarifies what concerns the patient who is unable to perform an act of worship. It is the hadith of 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr, and in the copy here it is 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar, which is an error; the correct name is 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: This confirms the meaning that came in the previous hadith with some detail. It is clear and distinct and does not need any commentary. He says in its tracing: Ahmad narrated it, and the wording is his, and al-Hakim said it is authentic according to their conditions. In a narration from Ahmad, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It was said to the angel assigned to him: "Write for him like his righteous work that he used to do and was unable to perform, like his work when he was free," meaning when he was healthy and not ill. "Write for him the reward of that work which he was unable to do, until he is released," meaning until I make him healthy and cure him. If he returns to health and soundness and continues the previous work, it is written for him as well. But if he leaves it off, it is not written; rather, his previous work is written for him as long as he is in the bond of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and in His captivity and the illness with which He afflicted him. Thus says the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): Meaning, I will gather him and return him, meaning I will take him and cause him to die. The chain of narration for this version is good. He explained his saying "I will take him to Me" as being with a kaf, then a fa, then a taa with a dot above; its meaning is "I will gather him to Me and take him."
