Arabic hadith text

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: مِنَ السُّنَّةِ تَخْفِيفُ الْجُلُوسِ وَقِلَّةُ الصَّخَبِ فِي الْعِيَادَةِ عِنْدَ الْمَرِيضِ قَالَ: وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا كَثُرَ لَغَطُهُمْ وَاخْتِلَافُهُمْ: «قُومُوا عَنِّي» رَوَاهُ رزين

Translation

Ibn Abbas said: Part of the Sunnah when visiting a sick person is to keep the visit brief and make little noise. He said: The Messenger of God said, when their clamor and disagreement became excessive: Get up and leave me.

Razin transmitted it.
