Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ عِمْرَانَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ قَالَ قَالَ لِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَلَا أُرِيكَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ هَذِهِ السَّوْدَاءُ أَتَتْ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي أُصْرَعُ وَأَتَكَشَّفُ
فَادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي قَالَ إِنْ شِئْتِ صَبَرْتِ وَلَكِ الْجَنَّةُ وَإِنْ شِئْتِ دَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ لَكِ أَنْ يُعَافِيَكِ قَالَتْ لَا بَلْ أَصْبِرُ فَادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ لَا أَتَكَشَّفَ أَوْ لَا يَنْكَشِفَ عَنِّي قَالَ فَدَعَا لَهَا

English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنهما) — via 'Ata' ibn Abi Rabah — that he said: 'Ibn 'Abbas said to me: "Shall I show you a woman from the people of Paradise?" I said: "Yes." He said: "This dark-complexioned woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: \"I suffer from epilepsy and my body becomes exposed [during seizures] — pray to Allah for me.\" He said: \"If you wish, you can be patient and you will have Paradise; or if you wish I will pray to Allah to cure you.\" She said: \"No, I will be patient — but pray to Allah that I am not uncovered [during seizures].\" So he prayed for her."'
