Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) visited a bedouin who was sick. Whenever he visited an ailing person, he would say, "La basa, tahurun in sha Allah [No harm, (it will be a) purification (from sins), if Allah wills]."[Al-Bukhari].
Commentary:
According to this Hadith, a patient should be told that his disease will purge out his sins. To sit beside the sick, to comfort his heart and to say a few words of sympathy to him was the Prophet's practice.
