Recommendation of Inquiring the Family Members of the Patient about his Condition
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُمَا، أَنَّ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُ خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فِي وَجَعِهِ الَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ فِيهِ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ: يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ كَيْفَ أَصْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ: أَصْبَحَ بِحَمْدِ اللهِ بَارِئًا" ((رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيّ)).
Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: When `Ali (May Allah be pleased with him) came out after visiting the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) during his last illness, the people asked: "How is Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), O Abul-Hasan?'' He replied: "Praise be to Allah, he (ﷺ) is feeling better.'' [Al-Bukhari].
