[Machine] This black woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am experiencing seizures and I become uncovered. Pray to Allah for me." He said, "If you wish, be patient and Paradise will be yours. And if you wish, I will ask Allah to cure you." She said, "I will be patient." Then she said, "I become uncovered, so pray to Allah that it does not happen." So he supplicated for her.

هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةُ السَّوْدَاءُ أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أُصْرَعُ وَإِنِّي أَنَكْشِفُ فَادْعُ اللهَ لِي فَقَالَ «إِنْ شِئْتِ صَبَرْتِ وَلَكِ الْجَنَّةُ وَإِنْ شِئْتِ دَعَوْتُ اللهَ أَنْ يُعَافِيَكِ» فَقَالَتْ أَصْبِرُ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي أَنَكْشِفُ فَادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ لَا أَنَكْشِفَ فَدَعَا لَهَا

Ibn ʿAbbas 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 becomes uncovered; please invoke Allah for me.' The Prophet ﷺ said (to her), 'If you wish, be patient and you will have (enter) Paradise; and if you wish, I will invoke Allah to cure you.' She said, 'I will remain patient,' and added, 'but I become uncovered, so please invoke Allah for me that I may not become uncovered.' So he invoked Allah for her." Narrated 'Ata: That he had seen Um Zafar, the tall black lady, at (holding) the curtain of the Kaʿba.

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.
