The Shaykh : Now, this is the sixty-sixth hadith, and it is authentic. He said:
From Abu Umamah al-Bahili (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said:.
"Struck down" means that it is not the known condition of epilepsy, but rather that this illness strikes him and casts him onto the bed. If he survives it and Allah the Mighty and Majestic grants him health, he emerges pure from his sins. It was narrated by Ibn Abi al-Dunya and al-Tabarani in *al-Kabir*, and its narrators are trustworthy. He said: "And it is also authentic".
