From the lessons of "Al-Targhib wa al-Tarhib," "Encouraging Patience, Especially for One Afflicted in Himself or His Wealth, and the Virtue of Trial, Illness, and Fever"

The Shaykh : ... , , As for what follows:
Indeed, the best of speech is the speech of Allah, and the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), and the worst of matters are their innovations, and every innovation is a religious innovation, and every religious innovation is misguidance, and every misguidance is in the Fire.
We are still in the hadiths concerning the encouragement of patience in the face of trials and the explanation of the virtue thereof. In the previous lesson, we reached the thirty-eighth hadith in my copy, which begins with the author’s words (may Allah have mercy on him): "It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: A woman afflicted with lamam came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, call upon Allah for me.' He said: . She said: 'No, I will be patient and there will be no reckoning for me.' Al-Bazzar and Ibn Hibban narrated it in his 'Sahih'."
This story has a great resemblance to the story we read at the end of the previous lesson. The only difference is in the type of illness she had in this case versus that one. Here, the narrator says she had lamam, which is a type of madness that befalls a person in episodes, not a constant, continuous madness. Whereas that woman was afflicted with epilepsy. This is a difference. It appears that this woman’s story is different from that story. Some scholars expand on this and assume it is one story, and that the one who was epileptic is the one described here as having lamam. But it appears, and there is nothing preventing the statement, that there were two women, each with her own story. That woman was epileptic, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) also promised her that if she wished, he would pray for her, and if she wished, she would be patient and Paradise would be hers. Here he said to her: "If you wish, I will call upon Allah and He will heal you, and if you wish, you will be patient and there will be no reckoning for you." It appears from the route of narration that they are two stories: one for the one who was epileptic, and another for the one who had a type of madness, which is lamam. But the reward is the same; because the saying of the Messenger (peace be upon him): is equivalent to his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) to that woman who was epileptic, where he said to her: . So everyone for whom there is no reckoning, there is no doubt that the outcome of their affair is entering Paradise. In any case, this hadith and that one, each of them indicates clearly and explicitly that the outcome of patience is entering Paradise.
