The Manners of Visiting the Sick

Imam Sadiq (PBUH) emphasized visiting the sick with affection, gifts, and perfume to ease their suffering. He advised short visits, avoiding prolonged stares, and requesting their prayers, which are angel-like. Such visits strengthen compassion, uplift spirits, and nurture social bonds, highlighting Islam’s care for human dignity and community.
