Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُبَارَكِ أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَحْرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَائِدُ الْمَرِيضِ يَخُوضُ فِي الرَّحْمَةِ وَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَهُ عَلَى وَرِكِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا مُقْبِلًا وَمُدْبِرًا وَإِذَا جَلَسَ عِنْدَهُ غَمَرَتْهُ الرَّحْمَةُ.
English Translation
Ali ibn Ishaq narrated to us: Abdullah — that is, Ibn al-Mubarak — informed us: Yahya ibn Ayyub informed us, from Ubaydullah ibn Zahr, from Ali ibn Yazid, from al-Qasim, from Abu Umama, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "One who visits the sick wades in mercy." And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his hand on his hip and said, "Like this, coming and going; and when he sits with him, mercy envelops him."
