Book 6
The Book of Visiting the Sick
كتاب عيادة المريض وتشييع الميت والصلاة عليه وحضور دفنه
This section gathers the duties owed to the sick and the dying, and then to the deceased. Its chapters cover visiting the ill and praying for them, comforting those near death, helping a dying person, and the manners surrounding loss. It continues with the funeral prayer, burial, settling the debts of the deceased, and charity made on their behalf. These themes remind the believer to show mercy at life's most fragile moments and to remember the end that awaits all.
