English translation

[2140] 15 - (...) It was narrated from Anas bin Mālik that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came to a woman who was crying for a son of hers and said to her: "Have Taqqa[1] of Allāh and be patient.' She said: 'What do you know of my affliction?' When he went away, it was said to her: 'That was the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ,' and she was mortally shocked. She came to his door, and did not find any doorkeeper there. She said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, I did not recognize you.' He said: 'Patience is when calamity first strikes.'"

Arabic text

15 - (926) وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَتَى عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ تَبْكِي عَلَى صَبِيٍّ لَهَا، فَقَالَ لَهَا: «اتَّقِي اللهَ وَاصْبِرِي»، فَقَالَتْ: وَمَا تُبَالِي بِمُصِيبَتِي فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ، قِيلَ لَهَا: إِنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَخَذَهَا مِثْلُ الْمَوْتِ، فَأَتَتْ بَابَهُ، فَلَمْ تَجِدْ عَلَى بَابِهِ بَوَّابِينَ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَمْ أَعْرِفْكَ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّمَا الصَّبْرُ عِنْدَ أَوَّلِ صَدْمَةٍ»، أَوْ قَالَ: «عِنْدَ أَوَّلِ الصَّدْمَةِ».
