Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَبِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَطَاءُ بْنُ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ، قَالَ قَالَ لِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَلاَ أُرِيكَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ قُلْتُ بَلَى ‏.‏ قَالَ هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةُ السَّوْدَاءُ أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَتْ إِنِّي أُصْرَعُ وَإِنِّي أَتَكَشَّفُ فَادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنْ شِئْتِ صَبَرْتِ وَلَكِ الْجَنَّةُ وَإِنْ شِئْتِ دَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُعَافِيَكِ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ أَصْبِرُ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ فَإِنِّي أَتَكَشَّفُ فَادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ لاَ أَتَكَشَّفَ ‏.‏ فَدَعَا لَهَا ‏.‏

Translation

Ubayd Allah ibn Umar al-Qawariri narrated to us; Yahya ibn Said and Bishr ibn al-Mufaddal narrated to us; they said: Imran Abu Bakr narrated to us; Ata ibn Abi Rabah narrated to me. Ibn Abbas said to me: Shall I show you a woman from the people of Paradise? I said: Yes. He said: This black woman came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I suffer seizures and become uncovered; pray to Allah for me. He said: If you wish, be patient, and Paradise will be yours; or, if you wish, I will pray to Allah to cure you. She said: I will be patient. She said: I become uncovered, so pray to Allah that I not become uncovered. He prayed for her.
