Sunnats When Treating And Visiting The Sick
Sunnats May 27th, 2009
1. It is Sunnat to take medication and undergo treatment during an illness. However, one should depend only on Allah Ta’ala for the cure.
2. It is Sunnat to treat an illness with kalunji (black seed ) and honey. (Bukhari- chapter on medicine) Rasulullah (
) said that Allah has placed cure in these two things. There are many Ahadith narrated in praise of kalunji and honey.
3. During treatment one should avoid those things which aggravate the illness.
4. It is Sunnat to visit one’s sick brother. Nabi () said:
(Bukhari) “Visit the sick”.
Hazrat Jaabir (
) narrates:
“I became sick. Nabi (
) came to visit me”. (Bukhari)
5. After visiting the sick it is Sunnat to leave quickly (Mishkaat). It should not happen that the patient or his family is inconvenienced in any way by your remaining there for a long time.
6. To console the patient in any way possible is Sunnat. For example one should say to him that Insha- Allah you will recover very quickly, Allah Ta’ala is the Most Powerful. One should not say such things which will instil fear in the sick person. (Mishkaat, pg. 137)
7. When visiting the sick one should say the following:
Trans: Do not become worried as this sickness will be a means of cleaning you from your sins, if Allah Ta’ala wishes.
Thereafter recite this seven times for his recovery:
Trans: I ask Allah Ta’ala who is All Powerful and the Lord of the Great Throne that He grants you recovery. Rasulullah () has stated that by reading this dua seven times the sick person will be cured. However, if the time of his death has approached than nothing can delay that. (Mishkaat- pg. 135, Abu Dawood- Vol.2, pg. 86)

Assalamu ‘Alaicum,
The library in Deoband Madrasah has some ancient Arabic books in Tasawwuf. One such book is mentioned below.
###############################
Imdaadus Suluk ,by Hadhrat Rashid Ahmad Gangohi ( RA ) in Farsi trans.
Irshadul Mulook , by Hadhrat Aashiq Ilaahi Merathi ( RA ) in Urdu trans.
Risalah Makkiyyah , by Shaykh Qutbuddin Damashqi ( RA ) in Arabic ,original
########################
This Risalah Makkoyyah is so rare that it can not be found even in a famous bookshop in Damascus. For my Arabic friends in Europe , this book will be a great asset. Is it possible for you or someone else to scan that book from Deoband library and upload it in the Internet ?
Once I had the good fortune to meet Mawlana Mamun Rashid, a khalifa of Mufti Mahmood ul Hasan Gangohi (rah) who was the head Mufti of Deoband madrasah ( http://www.daralmahmood.org/muftimahmood.html ).
I asked the khalifa about Risalah Makkiyah . He told me that during his student life in Deoband, he himself read the Arabic book from the Deoband library. That book is a very old book .
So, it would be agreat blessing if someone can go to Deoband library and scan the book and then upload it on the net.
This book is really amazing. Pure Tasawwuf and its secrets are so well-described in this book !
