The Prophet ﷺ said:

مَنْ أَتَى أَخَاهُ الْمُسْلِمَ عَائِدًا مَشَى فِي خِرَافَةِ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى يَجْلِسَ فَإِذَا جَلَسَ غَمَرَتْهُ الرَّحْمَةُ فَإِنْ كَانَ غُدْوَةً صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ وَإِنْ كَانَ مَسَاءً صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ

Man ata akhahul-muslima 'a'idan masha fi khirafatil-jannati hatta yajlisa fa idha jalasa ghamarathur-rahmatu fa in kana ghudwatan salla 'alayhi sab'una alfa malakin hatta yumsiya wa in kana masa'an salla 'alayhi sab'una alfa malakin hatta yusbih

Whoever comes to visit his sick Muslim brother walks among the harvest of Paradise until he sits down; when he sits, mercy covers him. If it is morning, seventy thousand angels pray for him until evening; and if it is evening, seventy thousand angels pray for him until morning.
