Bukhari miraculously healed from blindness?

[ayyub]

I saw someone post this story on facebook today as an example of the importance and power of dua. (To my surprise) I have actually never heard this story before today so I just thought I would share.

I found this version of the narration at: http://www.sunnah.org/history/Scholars/imam_bukhari.htm

Im?m al-muhaddith?n Hadrat Im?m Ab? `Abdull?h Muhammad ibn Ism?`?l al-Bukh?r? was born on the 13th of the Isl?mic month of Shaww?l, 194AH, in the famous city of Bukhara, of the land "beyond the canal" - present day Uzbekistan -. The father of Im?m Bukh?r?, Ism?`?l ibn Ibr?h?m ibn Mugh?rah al-Ja`f?, was a great muhaddith and ascetic from whom he inherited his characteristics of literary zeal and excellence. During infancy his father passed away and his mother took on the entire responsibility of bringing him up. Im?m Bukh?r? became blind at a young age. He had recourse to many famous and skilled doctors of his time but their treatments made no difference. His mother was a pious worshipper and a righteous woman. She cried out for help in the court of All?h the Almighty, for her child and begged for the restoration of his eyesight. At last, "the river of mercy flowed over her," and Almighty All?h accepted her invocation. One night, she visited Ibr?h?m `alayhis-sal?m in a dream and was told, "All?h has restored the sight of your son because of your intense and beautiful invocations." In the morning, as Im?m Bukh?r? got up from his bed, glimmers of light reached out into his eyes.

Salaam,

That's what I learned at school.

His eyesight worsened and he got blind. His mommy prayed and then his blindness went away from his life.

But I am not sure what his mommy thought of him because of the hadiths that insult women.

Did his mommy slap him for that?

Regards,
Yuliana
