فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ الْمَرِيضُ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ أَ وَ لَيْسَ ذَاكَ أَعْظَمَ أَجْراً إِذَا سَعَى فِي حَاجَةِ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ A man from the Helpers said, ‘May my father and my mother be (sacrificed for) you -saww , O Rasool-Allah -saww ! Supposing the sick were to be from his family members, and wouldn’t that be of mightier Recompense when he were to strive regarding the needs of his family members?’ قَالَ نَعَمْ.
He -saww said: ‘Yes’’. [15] ثَوَابُ الْأَعْمَالِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ فُضَيْلٍ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ الْحَذَّاءِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ عَادَ مَرِيضاً فِي اللَّهِ لَمْ يَسْأَلِ الْمَرِيضُ لِلْعَائِدِ شَيْئاً إِلَّا اسْتَجَابَ اللَّهُ لَهُ.

Teach me -as ! What is the extent of the Recompense of consoling the sick?’ قَالَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أُوَكِّلُ بِهِ مَلَكاً يَعُودُهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ إِلَى مَحْشَرِهِ الْحَدِيثَ. The Mighty and Majesty Said: ‘I -azwj shall Allocate an Angel with him, consoling him in his grave up to his Resurrection!” – the Hadeeth’’.
