Hadith 35593
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard from Jabir ibn
Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "When a man visits an invalid, he plunges into mercy
to the extent that when he sits with him, it settles in him," or the
like of that.
Muwatta Malik Book 50, Hadith 18

Malik related to me from Nafi from Ibn
Umar that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him

put it out with water." Muwatta Malik Book 50, Hadith 17

"There is no contagion, no
hama and no serpent in a hungry belly. However, the possessor of sick
livestock must not stop at the same place as the possessor of healthy
livestock, but the possessor of healthy livestock may stop wherever he
wishes."
They said, "Messenger of Allah, Why is that?" The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "It
is harmful."
Note: The majority of scholars interpret this to mean that these things in and of themselves do not transmit or cause harm through supernatural or hidden means but that Allah is ultimately in control and any fearful superstition around these is false. Muwatta Malik Book 50, Hadith 19
