969. Thuwair [and he is Ibn Abī Fākhītah] narrated that his father said: "Alī took me by the hand and said: 'Come with us to pay a visit to Al-Ḥasan.' So we found that Abū Mūsā was with him. 'Alī – peace be upon him – said: 'O Abū Mūsā! Did you come to visit (the sick) or merely (stop by to) visit?' He said: 'No, to visit (the sick).' So 'Alī said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying: "No Muslim visits (the sick) Muslim in the morning, except that seventy-thousand angels send Ṣalāt upon him until the evening, and he does not visit at night except that seventy-thousand angels send Ṣalāt upon him until the morning, and there will be a garden for him in Paradise." (Da'if)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Gharīb Ḥasan. This Hadīth has been reported from 'Alī by other routes, among them those who narrated it in Mawqūf not Marfū' form. Abū Fākhītah's name is Sa'eed bin 'Ilaqah.

Commentary
When a Muslim goes to visit a sick person and consoles him and says some good words to solace his feelings he gets reward from Allāh ﷻ.
