Ibn Abbas said to me: May I show you a woman of Paradise? I said: Yes. He said: Here is this dark-complexioned woman. She came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ and said: I am suffering from falling sickness and I become naked; supplicate Allah for me, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Show endurance as you can do and there would be Paradise for you and, if you desire, I supplicate Allah that He may cure you. She said: I am prepared to show endurance (but the unbearable trouble is) that I become naked, so supplicate Allah that He should not let me become naked, so he supplicated for her. (Using translation from Muslim 2576)
هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةُ السَّوْدَاءُ أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ إِنِّي أُصْرَعُ وَإِنِّي أَتَكَشَّفُ فَادْعُ اللهَ قَالَ «إِنْ شِئْتِ صَبَرْتِ وَلَكِ الْجَنَّةُ وَإِنْ شِئْتِ دَعَوْتُ اللهَ أَنْ يُعَافِيَكِ» قَالَتْ أَصْبِرُ قَالَتْ «فَإِنِّي أَتَكَشَّفُ فَادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ لَا أَتَكَشَّفَ فَدَعَا لَهَا»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to a Bedouin: "Has Umm Mildam harmed you?" The Bedouin asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is Umm Mildam?" He replied, "It is a type of heat that occurs between the skin and the blood." The Bedouin said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have never experienced this." The Prophet ﷺ then asked, "Have you ever experienced a headache?" The Bedouin asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is a headache?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "It is when veins strike a person in his head." The Bedouin said, "I have never experienced this either." When he was leaving, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever wishes to see a man from the people of Hell, let him look at this (Bedouin)."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِأَعْرَابِيٍّ «هَلْ أَخَذَتْكَ أُمُّ مِلْدَمٍ؟» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا أُمُّ مِلْدَمٍ؟ قَالَ «حَرٌّ يَكُونُ بَيْنَ الْجِلْدِ وَالدَّمِ» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا وَجَدْتُ هَذَا قَالَ «يَا أَعْرَابِيُّ هَلْ أَخْذَكَ هَذَا الصُّدَاعُ؟» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا الصُّدَاعُ؟ قَالَ «عُرُوقٌ تَضْرِبُ عَلَى الْإِنْسَانِ فِي رَأْسِهِ» قَالَ مَا وَجَدْتُ هَذَا فَلَمَّا وَلَّى قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا»
