HARUN YAHYA

a patient was brought to him, he would call upon Allah (swt),
saying: “Take away the disease, O the Lord of the people.
Cure him, for You are the One Who cures. There is no cure
but Yours, a cure that leaves no disease.” (Sahih al-Bukhari,
Volume 7, Book 70, Number 579)
He used to tell sick people: “Don’t worry. If Allah wills, it
will be expiation (for your sins)” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 7,
Book 70, Number 560). But he would not be pleased if they
would talk bad or complain about their disease.
“One who visits his Muslim brother when he is sick, hop-
ing for a blessing, will be removed from the fire the same
distance that it would take him seventy years to walk.”
(Abu Dawud)

Social Customs of Meeting and Hospitality
Whenever the Prophet (saas) joined a gathering, he would
sit with dignity and grace. All of his people would observe his
exemplary behavior with great attention, and listen attentively
and full of respect whenever he spoke.
The Prophet (saas) never interrupted anyone. Some poor
bedouins would come to talk about their troubles, disregard-
ing the rules and proprieties of meeting. The Prophet (saas)
would listen to them without interrupting and admonish them
politely after they had finished.
He took part in his Companions’ conversations; whatever
they were talking about, he would talk about. He joined in
their jokes, but warned those who would say jokes in the man-
ner of Days of Ignorance (jahiliyyah). Conversational gatherings
were generally concerned with religion, morality, and informa-
tion that could help people in their daily lives.
