Sahih al-Bukhari 3659
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ أَتَتِ امْرَأَةٌ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَرْجِعَ إِلَيْهِ. قَالَتْ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ جِئْتُ وَلَمْ أَجِدْكَ كَأَنَّهَا تَقُولُ الْمَوْتَ. قَالَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ " إِنْ لَمْ تَجِدِينِي فَأْتِي أَبَا بَكْرٍ ".
Al-Humaydi and Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah reported to us; they both said: Ibrahim ibn Sa‘d reported to us, from his father, from Muhammad ibn Jubayr ibn Mut‘im, from his father, who said: A woman came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he told her to return to him. She said, ‘What do you think—if I came and did not find you?’ It was as though she meant: death. He said to her, ‘If you do not find me, then go to Abu Bakr.’
