Yaʿqūb b. Ibrāhīm > Yaḥyá > ʿImrān Abū Bakr > ʿAṭāʾ b. Abū Rabāḥ > Qāl Lī Ibn ʿAbbās Alā Urīk Āmraʾah from Ahl al-Jannah Qult Balá

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.

أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَطَاءُ بْنُ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ قَالَ قَالَ لِيَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَلَا أُرِيكَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ قُلْتَ بَلَى قَالَ

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»
