Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْشَرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ دَخَلَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا حَفْصٍ حَدِّثْنَا حَدِيثًا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْسَ فِيهِ اخْتِلَافٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي كَعْبُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ عَادَ مَرِيضًا خَاضَ فِي الرَّحْمَةِ فَإِذَا جَلَسَ عِنْدَهُ اسْتَنْقَعَ فِيهَا وَقَدْ اسْتَنْقَعْتُمْ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فِي الرَّحْمَةِ.
English Translation
Yunus told us, saying: Abu Ma'shar told us, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Abdullah al-Ansari, who said: Abu Bakr ibn Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Hazm went in to Umar ibn al-Hakam ibn Thawban and said: "O Abu Hafs, tell us a hadith from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, on which there is no disagreement." He said: Ka'b ibn Malik told me, saying: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever visits a sick person wades into mercy, and when he sits with him he is immersed in it, and you have, God willing, become immersed in mercy [by being here]."
