and make the greeting common practice." [Agreed upon]

895. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him

five: returning the greeting, visiting the sick, joining funeral processions,
accepting invitations and blessing those who sneeze." [Agreed upon]

896. Abu Hurayra said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, 'Allah, the Mighty and Exalted, will say on the Day of Rising,
'Son of Adam, I was ill and you did not visit Me.' The man will say, 'O Lord,
how could I visit You when You are the Lord of the worlds?' He will say, 'Do you
not know that My slave so-and-so was ill and you did not visit him? Do you not
know that if you had visited him, you would have found Me with him? O son of
Adam, I asked you for food and you did not feed Me?' He will say, 'O Lord, how
could I feed You when You are the Lord of the worlds?' He will say, 'Do you not
know that My slave so-and-so asked you for food and you did not feed him? Do you
not know that if you had fed him, you would have found that with Me. O son of
Adam, I asked you for water and you did not give it to Me.' He will say, 'O
Lord, how could I give You water when You are the Lord of the worlds?' He will
say, 'My slave so-and-so asked you for water and you did not give it to him. Do
you not know that if you had given him water, you would have found that with
Me?'" [Muslim]

897. Abu Musa reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "Visit the sick, feed the hungry and set captives free."
[al-Bukhari]

898. Thawban reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "When a Muslim visits his brother Muslim, he is among the
khurfa of the Garden until he returns." They said, "Messenger of Allah,
what are the khurfa of the Garden?" He said, "Its gathered fruits."
[Muslim]

899. 'Ali said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, say, 'No Muslim visits a Muslim in the morning without a
thousand angels praying blessing on him until evening, or visits him in the
evening without a thousand angels praying blessing on him until morning and he
will have fruits in the Garden.'" [at-Tirmidhi]

900. Anas said, "A Jewish boy used to serve the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, and then became ill. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, went to visit him and sat at his head and said to him, 'Become
Muslim.' He looked at his father who was with him. He said to him, 'Obey Abu'l-Qasim.' So he became Muslim. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, left saying, 'Praise be to Allah who has saved him from the Fire.'"
[al-Bukhari]
