Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنِي عَطَاءُ بْنُ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ قَالَ‏:‏ قَالَ لِيَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ‏:‏ أَلاَ أُرِيكَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ‏؟‏ قُلْتُ‏:‏ بَلَى، قَالَ‏:‏ هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةُ السَّوْدَاءُ أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ‏:‏ إِنِّي أُصْرَعُ، وَإِنِّي أَتَكَشَّفُ، فَادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي، قَالَ‏:‏ إِنْ شِئْتِ صَبَرْتِ وَلَكِ الْجَنَّةُ، وَإِنْ شِئْتِ دَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُعَافِيَكَ، فَقَالَتْ‏:‏ أَصْبِرُ، فَقَالَتْ‏:‏ إِنِّي أَتَكَشَّفُ، فَادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي أَنْ لا أَتَكَشَّفَ، فَدَعَا لَهَا‏.‏

Musaddad related to us: Yahya related to us, from ‘Imran ibn Muslim Abu Bakr, who said: ‘Ata ibn Abi Rabah related to me: Ibn ‘Abbas said to me, “Shall I show you a woman from among the people of Paradise?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “This dark-skinned woman came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, ‘I suffer seizures and become uncovered, so ask Allah on my behalf.’ He said, ‘If you wish, be patient and Paradise will be yours; or if you wish, I will ask Allah to grant you well-being.’ She said, ‘I will be patient.’ Then she said, ‘I become uncovered, so ask Allah on my behalf that I not become uncovered.’ So he prayed for her.”

  • The English witness introduces the woman as “black”; the translation uses “dark-skinned” for the Arabic description.
