2731. Abū Umāmah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "From the completeness of visiting the ill is that one of you place his hand on his forehead" – or he said – "on his hand, and ask him how he is. And shaking hands completes your greetings among each other."(Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This chain is not strong. Muḥammad said: "Ubaidullāh bin Zahr is trustworthy, and 'Ali bin Yazīd is weak." Al-Qāsim is Ibn 'Abdur-Raḥmān and his Kunyah is Abū 'Abdur-Raḥmān. He is trustworthy. He was the freed slave of 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Khālid bin Yazīd bin Mu'āwiyyah, and Al-Qāsim was from Ash-Shām.

Commentary
Placing the hand on the forehead of a patient or holding his hand, is an
expression of love, kindness, affection and warm feeling; and asking the patient about his health and illness is a sign of encouraging him.
