Question:
Assalamu Alaikum
Respected team,
Below are the people from my family who has been suffering blindness. Is there any chance that these people can get their eye sight back?
Answer:
Waalaikumussalam warahmatullah,
There is a guarantee they will, if they enter Paradise, which is a guarantee from Allah which the Yemeni Companion al-`Irbad b. Sariya narrated from His Prophet per the Hadith Qudsi:
إذا سلَبتُ مِن عبدي كَريمَتيْه ، وهوَ بِهما ضَنينٌ ، لَم أرضَ لهُ ثوابًا دونَ الجنَّةِ إذا هوَ حمِدَني عليهِما .
“When I have taken away from My servant his precious eyes, which he would never want to give away, I have already decreed no less than Jannah as his reward, when he himself has given Me praise regardless of them.” (Sahih Ibn Hibban)
This is why, when the Prophet (s) was asked a similar request by a blind man, he recommended trust and steadfastness. See:
