Is there reward and recompense for marrying a girl afflicted with paralysis and treating her kindly?
If a Muslim marries a girl afflicted with paralysis and treats her kindly, seeking the pleasure of Allah, that would be among the greatest acts of obedience. In the sacred Hadith (Hadith Qudsi), Allah Almighty says on the Day of Resurrection: "O son of Adam, I fell ill, and you did not visit Me." He said: "O Lord, how could I visit You when You are the Lord of the worlds?" He said: "Did you not know that My servant [so-and-so] fell ill, and you did not visit him? Did you not know that if you had visited him, you would have found Me with him?" So, if visiting the sick holds such a high status, then marrying a sick person and treating her kindly is even greater in reward and indicates nobility of character.
