1842. It was narrated that 'Aîshah said that Abû Bakr came riding a horse from his home in As-Sunûh, then he dismounted and entered the Masjid. He did not speak to the people until he met 'Aîshah and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was covered with a Hîbrâh Burd.[1] He uncovered his face, bent over him and kissed him, and wept. Then he said: "May my father be ransomed for you. By Allâh! Allâh will never cause you to die twice; the death that was decreed for you, you have died." (Sahih)

Commentary
The import of these words was to caution these people, who due to the severity of grief, thought that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ had not died, or had merely fainted.
