قَالَ لِي 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 يُعَافِيَكِ . فَقَالَتْ أَصْبِرُ. فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي أَتَكَشَّفُ فَادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ لاَ أَتَكَشَّفَ، فَدَعَا لَهَا.
Ibn `Abbas said to me, "Shall I show you a woman of the people of Paradise?" I said, "Yes." He said,"This black lady came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, 'I get attacks of epilepsy and my body becomesuncovered; please invoke Allah for me.' The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to her), 'If you wish, be patient and you willhave (enter) Paradise; and if you wish, I will invoke Allah to cure you.' She said, 'I will remainpatient,' and added, 'but I become uncovered, so please invoke Allah for me that I may not becomeuncovered.' So he invoked Allah for her."
