salam ustaz , saya ada permasalahan hadis .
The teachings of Islam enjoin us to take good care of our health and
seek cure when we are sick. A strong mukmin is better than a weak mukmin.
However there is this hadith:*
*Ibn 'Abb?s once said to 'At? b. Rab?h: ''Shouldn't I point out to you a
woman of Paradise?''He replied: ''Indeed. Do so.'' Ibn 'Abb?s said: ''Do you
see that black complexioned lady? She approached the Prophet (peace be upon
him) and said: 'I suffer from epilepsy and during a fit, my body becomes
exposed. So please supplicate Allah on my behalf.' ''Then the Prophet said
to her: 'If you choose, you might rather bear it patiently and you will
attain Paradise on account of it. Or if you like, I will beseech Allah to
cure you.' ''She said: 'I will bear it patiently. But my body gets exposed,
so please beseech Allah that my body will no longer be exposed.' ''The
Prophet (peace be upon him) beseeched Allah for this.'' [Sah?h al-Bukh?r?
(5652) and Sah?h Muslim (2576)]*
*Here the Prophet recommends the option for the woman to bear the illness
patiently rather than fulfilling straightaway the woman?s initial desire
to be cured. Does the prophet?s action not contradict the general
understanding for us to seek cure for the illness that may befall on us? |
