Abu Umaamah (ra) reported that the Messenger of Allaah said: Whoever recites Aayatul Kursi following every obligatory prayer, nothing prevents him from entering Paradise except dying.
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever recites Aayat al-Kursiy at night will have ongoing protection from Allaah and no devil will come near him until morning comes.”
Ayat al-Kursi is verse 255 of the second chapter (Surah) of the Holy Quran, Surat al-Baqarah (The Chapter of the Cow)
Below is the Arabic text, the transliteration, and the English translation and then some of the benefits of reciting this verse, the Verse of the Throne:
Allahu la ilaha illa huwa, Al -Haiyul-Qaiyum La ta'khudhuhu sinatun wa la nawm lahu ma fi as-samawati wa ma fil-'ard Man dhal-ladhi yashfa'u 'indahu illa bi-idhnihi Ya'lamu ma bayna aydihim wa ma khalfahum wa la yuhituna bi shai'in min 'ilmihi illa bima sha'a Wasi'a kursiyuhus-samawati wal ard wa la ya'uduhu hifdhuhuma wa Hu wal 'Aliyul-Adheem
"Allah! There is no god but He - the Living, The Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him Nor Sleep. His are all things In the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede In His presence except As he permitteth? He knoweth What (appeareth to His creatures As) Before or After or Behind them. Nor shall they compass Aught of his knowledge Except as He willeth. His throne doth extend Over the heavens And on earth, and He feeleth No fatigue in guarding And preserving them, For He is the Most High. The Supreme (in glory)."
[Surah al-Baqarah 2: 255]
The hadith is assurance to those that fall ill and in pain to be patient and to know that they is (a way) to seek reward in that also (by being patient rather then complaing "why" Allah did this to you, blah blah).
As for the women, that is a special case. Her illness is something not normal and the dua of the Prophet *S* is not something normal either. Even today there is no real cure for seizures.
Thanks a lot for reply;
In the narration words are very clear:
It is this black woman. She came to the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) saying, " I have (epileptic) seizures, and I get exposed, so supplicate to Allah for me." He (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) said:
" If you wish, be patient and you will attain Jannah; or if you wish, I will ask Allah to cure you."
The Holy prophet(PBUH) did not say that ,because it is incurable so be patient.Rather He (PBUH) gave her options.
I am sure it is not only I but others also who might have got the same impression which I got.
Best of luck
Who can be more irrational than those who say: Design is possible without a designer ??
Whenever the Prophet offered the night (Tahajjud) prayer, he used to say, "O Allah! All the Praises are for You; You are the Light of the Heavens and the Earth. And all the Praises are for You; You are the Keeper of the Heavens and the Earth. All the Praises are for You; You are the Lord of the Heavens and the Earth and whatever is therein. Youare the Truth, and Your Promise is the Truth, and Your Speech is the Truth, and meeting You is the Truth, and Paradise is the Truth and Hell (Fire) is the Truth and all the prophets are the Truth and the Hour is the Truth. O Allah! I surrender to You, and believe in You, and depend upon You, and repent to You, and in Your cause I fight and with Your orders I rule. So please forgive my past and future sins andthose sins which I did in secret or in public. It is You Whom I worship, None has the right to be worshipped except You ."
(See Hadith No. 329,Vol. 8)

He said: " If you wish, be patient and you will attain Jannah; or if you wish, I will ask Allah to cure you."
The prophet's dua was always accepted so he gave her the option to be patient or be cured thru his dua. Who knows how hard it is for her to go about her daily life with this hardship and as a mercy Allah forgave her or just erased so many sins for each hardship till she was among those of jannah. In either case the point is not to get sick and lay in bed all your life, but rather to be patient when you are sick. It also does not mean you do not seek treatment as your body has rights over you and you can't neglect those rights. You should ask your imaam after jummah and see what he says.
Thank you very much for explanation.
At least one thing seems to be sure.If you are sick ,it is optional
Either be patient (no treatment) and get Jannah because of persistant patience.
Or get treatment
This is what the Holy prophet advised according to this narration
please don't drive your own meanings from the hadith. I would advise you to ask an imaam or scholar on this. There are often many hadeeth that explain each other and further elaborate the meaning of this or that hadith.

I am not dragging my own meaning.If this is wrong meaning what I conceived then I feel sorry.Either you tell me or guide me to someone to approach either by e-mail or phone so that I can clarify it.
I will appreciate your guidance.
I have put honestly what my impression is.

Bro sometimes we get impression or understanding of something based one what information comes our way and we let that mould our understanding not knowing if what we understand is right or wrong. Sometimes there's more information available on the topic that further elaborates on it. Just like we have tafsir for the Quran, so too we have commentaries on the hadeeth from great scholars. We should always seek their help in understanding as they are more knoweldgeable and knows not only the history of the hadith, what context it was saidi, but also anyother hadeeth that further explain on this one.
You should ask your local imaam about this hadith and pose your thoughts/impressions and see what he can tell you. Also for online you can go to islamqa.com to look there or ask yourself at www.fatwa.online.com
may Allah give us patiences to learn and wisdom to understand His deen.

I will inshallah try to get the answer for it.
But one request.If we are not able to explain something then we should avoid posting such confusing material which can do more damage than something good.
There are so many excellent narrations by the Holy Prophet Why not to post them so that every one has positive image about Islam.
This is not service of Islam that we create confusion in the mind of hundereds of people and do not give any explanation.

No offense bro but i think you are the only one confused here. I'm sure the imaam will state exactly what I have been telling you all along. Anyways, inshallah let us know how it went.

You seem to be right because I was only one who raised the question.Actually I am not as scholarly/intelligent as you people are so I apologize to be getting confused.
Even then my request stays there.

25. Abu Malik Al-Harith bin Asim Al-Ash`ar (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Wudu' is half of Salah; the utterance of (Al-hamdu lillah - all praise belongs to Allah) fills the Scales of good actions; the utterance of (Subhan Allah wa Al-hamdu lillah) (Allah is far removed from every imperfection and all praise belongs to Allah) fills the space between the heavens and the earth, and Salat (prayer) is light; and charity is the proof of Faith; and endurance is light, and the Qur'an is a plea in your favour or against you. Every person departs; he either ransoms it or puts it into perdition". [Muslim].
Commentary:
1. Piety in all forms is meritorious. And Faith means Faith in its perfect form. Some people are of the opinion that here Faith means Salat. Purification is essential for Salat and this is the reason it is regarded as half of Salat. 2. Excellence of the remembrance of Allah. 3. Inducement for concentration on Salat because it is a light which provides guidance to a Muslim at every step and prevents him from obscenity and unlawful actions. 4. Sadaqah signifies a Muslim's sincerity and devotion. 5. The praiseworthiness of patience. It is a strong weapon of a Muslim which provides him with steadfastness. 6. The Qur'an is a means of salvation as well as destruction for a Muslim. If one acts upon its orders, it becomes a means of his salvation; if he shuns them, it ruins him. 7. One should not leave oneself idle but keep it busy - busy in some noble work, otherwise it would tend to evil which will eventually ruin him. 8. One should spend this transitory earthly life in the obedience of Allah.
You seem to be right because I was only one who raised the question.Actually I am not as scholarly/intelligent as you people are so I apologize to be getting confused.
Even then my request stays there.
bro its better to ask and learn then to not ask and stay in confusion. No one here is more or less intelligent than you are. We all have different level of understandings just becuase of the difference of level fo islamic studies we have done. And also, it is Allah's will to guide whom He pleases so we all should ask Him to guide us the understanding of the deen and wisdom in it.
Ibn Masood (r.a) reported that the Messenger of Allaah said: Whoever recites the last two verses of Soorah Baqarah in a night, they will suffice him.
“The Messenger (Muhammad) believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in Allaah, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. (They say,) ‘We make no distinction between one another of His Messengers’ — and they say, ‘We hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return (of all).’
Allaah burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned. ‘Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error, our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us (Jews and Christians); our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Pardon us and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Mawlaa (Patron, Supporter and Protector) and give us victory over the disbelieving people”
Allah's Apostle said. "It is one of the greatest sins that a man should curse his parents." It was asked (by the people), "O Allah's Apostle! How does a man curse his parents?" The Prophet said, "'The man abuses the father of another man and the latter abuses the father of the former and abuses his mother."
