[6556] 43 - (2569) It was narrated that Abū Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Allāh, Glorified and Exalted is He, will say on the Day of Resurrection: "O son of Ādam, I fell sick and you did not visit Me." He will say: "O Lord, how could I visit You when You are the Lord of the Worlds?" He will say: "Did you not know that My slave so-and-so was sick, but you did not visit him? Do you not know that if you had visited him you would have found Me with him? O son of Ādam, I asked you for food and you did not feed Me." He will say: "O Lord, how could I feed You when You are the Lord of the Worlds?" He said: "Did you not know that My slave so-and-so asked you for food, but you did not feed him? Do you not know that if you had fed him, you would have found that with Me? O son of Ādam, I asked you for water and you did not give Me to drink." He will say: "O Lord, how could I give you to drink when You are the Lord of the Worlds?" He will say: "My slave so-and-so asked you for water, and you did not give him to drink. If you had given him to drink you would have found that with Me.'"
