The woman with epilepsy showing patience and earning Jannah

Ibn ʿAbbās said to me, “Shall I show you a woman from the people of Paradise?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “This black woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, ‘I suffer seizures, and I become uncovered, so supplicate to Allah for me.’ He said, ‘If you wish, be patient and you will have Paradise; and if you wish, I will make dua to Allah to cure you.’ She said, ‘I will be patient.’ Then she said, ‘I become uncovered, so make dua to Allah that I do not become uncovered,’ so he made dua for her.”

قَالَ لِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَلاَ أُرِيكَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ قُلْتُ: بَلَى۔ قَالَ: هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةُ السَّوْدَاءُ أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ 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۔
