Ibn ‘Abbās told his student ‘Atā’ ibn Abi Rabāh about a black woman who was one of the people of Paradise. She was not known by the people and no one knew of her status. She was afflicted with epilepsy and, as a result, her body sometimes became uncovered. She complained to the Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him to supplicate to Allah for her to be cured. The Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) told her that if she wished, he could invoke Allah to cure her or if she wished she could be patient and enter Paradise. She chose to be patient, even though she was suffering and hurting from her epilepsy. She agreed to be patient, because she wanted to enter Paradise. She said: "Oh Messenger of Allah, I become uncovered, so please invoke Allah that I do not become uncovered." After this, when she had epileptic seizures, she would not become uncovered.
