The Prophet stated that Allah, who is Blessed and Exalted, said"Son of
Adam, if you show endurance and seek your reward from me in the first
affliction, Ishall be pleased with no lesser reward than Paradise for
you. "
Hadith - Sahih Bukhari, Muslim, and Nasa'i, Narrated 'A'ishah

Epilepsy
Hadith - Bukhari 7:555, Narrated 'Ata bin Abi Rabah
Ibn 'Abbas said to me,"Shall I show you a woman of the people of
Paradise?" I said, "Yes." He said, "This black lady came to the
Prophet and said, 'I get attacks of epilepsy and my body becomes
uncovered; please invoke Allah for me.' The Prophet said (to her), '
If you wish, be patient and you will have (enter)Paradise; and if you
wish,I will invoke Allah to cureyou. ' She said, 'I will remain
patient,' and added, 'but I become uncovered, so please invoke Allah
for me that Imay not become uncovered.' So he invoked Allah for her."
Kindness to the sick
Hadith - Mishkat, Narrated Abu Sa'id
Allah's Messenger said, " When you go in to visit an invalid, express
a hope that he will live long. That will not avert anything, but it
will comfort him. "
Hadith - Sahih Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 73, Number 40, Narrated
An-Nu'man bin Bashir
Allah's Apostle said, " You see the believers as regards their being
merciful among themselves and showing love among themselves and being
kind, resembling one body, so that, if any part of the body is not
well then the whole body shares the sleeplessness (insomnia) and fever
with it. "
Visit the sick
Hadith - Qudsi 18
O son of Adam, I fell ill and you visited Me not. He will say: O Lord,
and how should I visit You when You are the Lord ofthe worlds? He will
say: Did you not know that My servant So-and-so hadfallen ill and you
visited him not? Did you not know that had you visited him you would
have found Me with him?O son of Adam, I asked you for food and you fed
Me not. He will say: O Lord, and how should I feed You when You are
the Lord of the worlds? He will say: Did you not know that My servant
So-and-so asked you for food and you fed him not? Did you not know
that had you fed him youwould surely have found that (the reward for
doing so) with Me? O son of Adam, I asked you to give Me to drink and
you gave Me not to drink. He will say: O Lord, how should I give You
to drinkwhin You are the Lord of the worlds? He will say: My servant
So-and-so asked you to give him to drink and you gave him not to
drink. Had you given him to drink you would have surely found that
with Me.

Ever wonder why a Muslim is allowed
by Allah, subhana watallah, to get sick?
Hadith - Bukhari 7:564
I visited Allah's Apostle while he was suffering from a high fever. I
touched him withmy hand and said, "O Allah's Apostle! You have a high
fever." Allah's Apostle said, " Yes, I have as much fever as two men
of you have. " I said, "Is it because youwill get a double reward?"
Allah's Apostle said, " Yes, noMuslim is afflicted with harm because
of sicknessor some other inconvenience, but that Allah will remove his
sins for him as a tree sheds itsleaves. "
Hadith - Muslim & Bukhari
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri r.a. reported that the Prophet said: Whenever a
Muslim is afflicted with a hardship,sickness, sadness, worry, harm, or
depression --even a thorn's prick, Allah expiates his sins because of
it.
Recorded by Bukhari in al-Adab ul-Mufrad (no. 493), verified authentic
by al-Albani
"Expect good, because Allah (s.w.t.) makes a believer's sickness an
expiation (for his sins) and a period of repose. As for a disbeliever
falling sick, he is like a camel whose owner ties it and then lets it
loose --it does not understand why it was tied, nor why it was freed."
The cure...
Hadith - Sahih Bukhari, Book 25, Number 5466, Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah
Allah's Messenger said: There is a remedy for every malady, and when
the remedy is applied to the disease it is cured with the permission
of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious.

Yahya related to me fromMalik from Zayd ibn Aslam that a man received
a wound in the time of the Messenger of Allah . The blood clotted in
the wound and the man called two men from the Banu Ammar tribe. They
looked at it and claimed that the Messenger of Allah said to them, "
Which of you is the better doctor? " They said, "Is there any good in
medicine, Messenger of Allah?" Zayd claimed that the Messenger of
Allah said, " The one who sent down the disease sent down the remedy.
"

Severe Trials for those Firm in their Religion
Hadith - Al-Tirmidhi 1562,Narrated Sa'd
When the Prophet was asked which people suffered the greatest
affliction, hereplied, " The prophets, then those who come next to
them, then those who come next to them. A man is afflicted in keeping
his religion. If he is firm in his religion his trial is severe, but
if there is weakness in his religion it is made light for him, and it
continues like that till he walks on the earth having no sin. "
[Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah and Darimi transmitted it, and Tirmidhi said this
is ahasan sahih tradition.]
Rewards for those Afflicted

have suffered affliction are given their reward, thosewho are healthy
will wish their skins had beencut to pieces with scissorswhen they
were in the world. "

Recorded by Ahmad , verified authentic by al-Hakim, ath-Thahabi, and al-Albani
The ailment is intensifiedfor the righteous. Whenever a believer is
afflicted with a hardship,be it a thorn or more, a sin is taken off
him because of it, and he is elevated on level (in Jannah [Paradise]).

A traveller's or sick person's deeds are recorded in accordance with
what he used to do when he was resident or well.

Paradise will be (glittering) like the moon when it is full. They will
not spit or blowtheir noses or relieve nature. Their utensils willbe
of gold and their combs of gold and silver; in their centers the aloe
wood will be used, and their sweat will smell likemusk. Everyone of
them will have two wives; the marrow of the bones of the wives' legs
will be seen through the flesh out of excessive beauty. They (i.e. the
people of Paradise) will neither have differences nor hatred amongst
themselves; their hearts will be as if one heart and they will be
glorifying Allah in the morning and in the evening. "
Hadith - Sahih Bukhari 4:464, Narrated 'Imran bin Husain
The Prophet said, " Verily! 70,000 or 700,000 of my followers will
enter Paradise altogether; so that the first and the last amongstthem

Haritha was martyred on the day (of the battle) of Badr, and he was a
young boy then. His mother came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! You know how dear Haritha is to me. If he is in Paradise, I
shall remainpatient, and hope for reward from Allah, but if it is not
so, then you shallsee what I do?" He said, " May Allah be merciful to
you! Have you lost your senses? Do you think there is only one
Paradise? There are many Paradises and your son is in the (most
superior) Paradise of Al-Firdaus. "

Allah's cause and nothing compels himto do so except belief in Allah
and His Apostles , will be recompensed by Allah either with a reward,
or booty (if he survives) or will be admitted to Paradise (if he is
killed in the battle as a martyr). Had I not found it difficult for my
followers, then I would not remain behind any sariya going for Jihad
and I would have loved to be martyred in Allah's cause and then made
alive, and then martyred and then made alive, andthen again martyred
in His cause. "
