Hadith 158

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنِي عَطَاءُ بْنُ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ قَالَ‏:‏ قَالَ لِيَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ‏:‏ أَلاَ أُرِيكَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ‏؟‏ قُلْتُ‏:‏ بَلَى، قَالَ‏:‏ هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةُ السَّوْدَاءُ أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ‏:‏ إِنِّي أُصْرَعُ، وَإِنِّي أَتَكَشَّفُ، فَادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي، قَالَ‏:‏ إِنْ شِئْتِ صَبَرْتِ وَلَكِ الْجَنَّةُ، وَإِنْ شِئْتِ دَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُعَافِيَكَ، فَقَالَتْ‏:‏ أَصْبِرُ، فَقَالَتْ‏:‏ إِنِّي أَتَكَشَّفُ، فَادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي أَنْ لا أَتَكَشَّفَ، فَدَعَا لَهَا‏.‏

“… Ibn Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said to me. “Shall I not show you a woman from the people of Paradise?” I said Yes. Then he said: "This black woman came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said to him, "Messenger of Allah, I suffer from epilepsy and I uncover myself unknowingly, so can you make a supplication to Allah to cure me?, "The Prophet (ﷺ) said to her, "If you wish, be patient and you will be rewarded with paradise, but if you wish, I will make a supplication to Allah to cure you." The woman said, ’I will be patient. But I may uncover myself , so can you make supplication to Allah that I may not become uncovered. Then, The Prophet (ﷺ) made a supplication for her.”
