PATIENCE WHEN AFFLICTED BY A DISEASE H 36 "'Shall I show you a woman who will be among the dwellers of Paradise?' Asked ibn Abbas. 'Certainly said Ata son of Abi Rabah.' Ibn Abbas then pointed to a dark skinned lady and said: 'That lady came to the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, and said: 'Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, I suffer from epilepsy, when I have a fit my body is exposed. Please pray to Allah for me.' He replied: 'If you choose to be patient with this affliction, you will win Paradise, but if you wish, I will pray to Allah to recover you.' The woman replied: 'I shall be patient, but please pray that my body will not be exposed.' And accordingly he prayed for her." R 36 Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Ata son of Abi Rabah who related that son of Abbas told him this.
35- وعن عطَاء بن أبي رَباحٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ لي ابنُ عَباسٍ رضي اللهُ عنهما : ألاَ أُريكَ امْرَأةً مِنْ أَهْلِ الجَنَّة ؟ فَقُلْتُ: بَلَى، قَالَ : هذِهِ المَرْأةُ السَّوداءُ أتتِ النَّبيَّ صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ، فَقَالَتْ : إنّي أُصْرَعُ ، وإِنِّي أتَكَشَّفُ ، فادْعُ الله تَعَالَى لي . قَالَ : "إنْ شئْتِ صَبَرتِ وَلَكِ الجَنَّةُ ، وَإنْ شئْتِ دَعَوتُ الله تَعَالَى أنْ يُعَافِيكِ" فَقَالَتْ : أَصْبِرُ ، فَقَالَتْ : إنِّي أتَكَشَّفُ فَادعُ الله أنْ لا أَتَكَشَّف ، فَدَعَا لَهَا . مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيهِ .
