From al-Hasan: the woman used to suffer fits in the mosque; her brothers came to the Prophet complaining of it and he said: \"if you wish I will pray God and she is healed; if you wish she stays as she is with no reckoning upon her in the hereafter\" — her brothers gave her the choice and she said: \"leave me as I am\" {cite:ibn-hajar-isaba p. 1999}.
