'I visited a sick person with Abu Abdullah during the night in the month of Ramadhan. He told me: 'It is better that one visits the sick during the Month of Ramadhan at night.'
*One should not prolong their visit with the sick, except if the sick wishes for that.
*It is praiseworthy for the one who is visiting the sick to sit by his head. When the Jew who used to serve the Prophet () fell sick and the Prophet () went to visit him, he sat by his head. Ibn Abbas () said: 'When the Prophet () visited a sick person he would sit by his head.' (Al-Adab al-Mofrad)
*It is praiseworthy for one to ask the sick about his condition. A'ishah, with whom Allah is pleased, said: 'When the Messenger of Allah () came to Madinah, and Abu Bakr and Bilal () fell sick. I entered and said: 'O my father, how do you feel?' (Bukhari & Muslim)
*It is lawful for one to cry or weep softly when they are with the sick or one who has passed away, for the Prophet () wept softly when he entered upon Sa'd b. Ubaadah () and he was sick. One should not wail.
*One should supplicate for the sick, for the Angels say ‘Ameen’ when one supplicates. Umm Salamah, with whom Allah is pleased, said: the Messenger of Allah () said:
‘If you visit a sick person, say good things, for the Angels say ‘Ameen’ to (the supplication you make).’

She said: 'Allah gave me better in return, the Messenger of Allah ()!' (Muslim)
*One should supplicate with the following supplications:
