910/1 - Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported that ‘Ali ibn Abi Tālib (may Allah be pleased with him) came out of the Prophet’s house during his final illness. The people asked: “O Abu al-Hasan, how is the Messenger of Allah this morning?” He said: “Praise be to Allah, he is well this morning.” [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri]
1) Inquiring about the sick person’s condition directly from him or through his family is something commendable and one of the rights the believers have upon one another.
2) Optimism and being hopeful about recovery is the state of the fortunate believers.
