Riyad as-Salihin, 907
Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
The Prophet (ﷺ) visited a bedouin who was sick. Whenever he visited an ailing person, he would say, "La ba'sa, tahurun in sha' Allah <b>[No harm, (it will be a) purification (from sins), if Allah wills]</b>." <b>[Al-Bukhari]</b>.
وعنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم ، دخل علي أعرأبي يعوده وكان إذا دخل علي من يعوده قال:
لا بأس، طهور إن شاء الله
((رواه البخاري)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) It is recommended that when a person visits someone who is sick to say: “No harm, it will be purification from sins, Allah willing.”<br>
2) It is part of the Sunnah to be assertive in making a supplication. Saying: “If You will” does not denote hesitance, for nothing is beyond the power of Allah Almighty.<br>
<br>

<br>
<b>Words in the Hadith:</b><br>
Allah willing: It is an informative phrase, not a supplication. This is because when a person supplicates, he should be firm in making it and not say for example: O Allah, cure me if You will. “Allah willing” means by the permission of Allah.
