Send Salawaat upon Muhammad -saww and Progeny -asws of Muhammad -saww , and Heal him with Your -azwj Healing, and Medicate him with Your -azwj medication, and Cure him from Your -azwj Affliction, and Make his complaint to be an atonement for what has passed from his sins and what remain’’. [49] وَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص قَالَ: مَنْ قَامَ عَلَى مَرِيضٍ يَوْماً وَ لَيْلَةً بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ مَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلِ الرَّحْمَنِ فَجَازَ عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ كَالْبَرْقِ اللَّامِعِ.
And from the Prophet -saww having said: ‘One who stands by a sick a day and a night, Allah -azwj will Resurrect him with Ibrahim -as the friend of the Beneficent, he will cross upon the Bridge like the bolt of lightning’’.
[50] تَفْسِيرُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، فِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع فِي قَوْلِهِ لَيْسَ عَلَى الْأَعْمى حَرَجٌ وَ لا عَلَى الْأَعْرَجِ حَرَجٌ وَ لا عَلَى الْمَرِيضِحَرَجٌ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْلِمُوا كَانُوا يَعْتَزِلُونَ الْأَعْمَى وَ الْأَعْرَجَ وَ الْمَرِيضَ كَانُوا لَا يَأْكُلُونَ مَعَهُمْ Tafseer Ali Bin Ibrahim – In a report by Abu Al Jaroud, ‘From Abu Ja’far -asws regarding His -azwj Words: There isn’t a blame upon the blind, nor a blame upon the lame, nor a blame upon the sick, [24:61] – ‘And that is because the people of Al Medina, before they became Muslims, were isolating the blind, and the lame, and the sick.
They were saying, ‘Do not eat with them’. وَ كَانَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ فِيهِمْ تِيهٌ وَ تَكَرُّمٌ فَقَالُوا إِنَّ الْأَعْمَى لَا يُبْصِرُ الطَّعَامَ وَ الْأَعْرَجَ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ الزِّحَامَ عَلَى الطَّعَامِ وَ الْمَرِيضَ لَا يَأْكُلُ كَمَا يَأْكُلُ الصَّحِيحُ فَعَزَلُوا لَهُمْ طَعَامَهُمْ عَلَى نَاحِيَةٍ وَ كَانُوا يَرَوْنَ أَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي مُؤَاكَلَتِهِمْ جُنَاحاً And the Helpers among them were arrogant and benevolent.
They said, ‘The blind cannot see the food, and the lame is not capable of (reaching) the food in the crowd, and the sick cannot eat like what the healthy one does’. So, they were isolating their meal for them in an area, and they were viewing that there is blame upon them in their eating. فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ ص سَأَلُوهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُناحٌ أَنْ تَأْكُلُوا جَمِيعاً أَوْ أَشْتاتاً. When the Prophet -saww arrived, they asked him -saww about that.
So Allah -azwj Revealed: There isn’t a blame upon you if you were to eat together or separately [24:61] ’’.
