Comfort them by telling them that, Inshaa'Allah , all difficulties will come to an end . Should you obtain some information regarding injury, illness or death of a person , do not speak about it until you have reliably confirmed it , especially as far as his relatives are concerned . Never inform them without confirmation . If the information was false, unnecessary consternation and grief would have been caused . If medical treatment has been exhorted , one should adopt it .
Superstition is a kind of shirk .
Hence abstain from this . If the indisposed person is suffering from such an ailment which causes inconvenience to people , he should remain aloof from them . Do not force the indisposed person to eat much . A person visiting the sick should not linger around much . He should not engage in unnecessary conversations nor should he enquire from the indisposed person the details of his illness .
