What is said when visiting the sick?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner (Ahmad A. A.) asks: If I visit a brother of mine in Allah who is ill, what is the supplication I should say?

Answer:
You supplicate for him for healing and well-being, saying: O Allah, heal him; O Allah, grant him well-being; O Allah, remove his affliction. It is mentioned in some hadiths:
That if a man visits his brother and says: I ask Allah, the Most Generous, Lord of the Mighty Throne, to heal you, seven times, Allah will heal him if his appointed time has not arrived.أن الرجل إذا زار أخاه فقال: أسأل الله الكريم رب العرش العظيم أن يشفيك، سبع مرات، شفاه الله إذا كان لم يحضر أجله
There is some criticism regarding its chain of narration; however, if one supplicates with this du'a, it is good. If he says it seven times:
As'alullah Al-'Azeem Rabbal 'Arshil 'Azeemأسأل الله العظيم رب العرش الكريم
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2083Sahih (Darussalam)
—for so-and-so, naming the person he is addressing—
to heal youأن يشفيك
seven times, then good is hoped for in it, and that Allah will heal him if his appointed time has not arrived. Even though there is criticism of its chain, it is a good supplication. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you.
