3124. It was narrated that Anas said: "The Prophet of Allāh ﷺ came to a woman who was weeping for a son of hers, and said to her: 'Have Taqwā of Allāh and be patient.' She said: 'What do you care about my calamity?' It was said to her: 'This is the Prophet ﷺ.' She came to him, and she did not find any doorkeeper at his door, and she said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, I did not recognize you.' He said: 'Patience is only when the calamity first strikes.'" (Sahīh)
