Sahih Muslim 2140 — Book 11, Hadith 18

وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَتَى عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ تَبْكِي عَلَى صَبِيٍّ لَهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا ‏"‏ اتَّقِي اللَّهَ وَاصْبِرِي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَتْ وَمَا تُبَالِي بِمُصِيبَتِي ‏.‏ فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ قِيلَ لَهَا إِنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏.‏ فَأَخَذَهَا مِثْلُ الْمَوْتِ فَأَتَتْ بَابَهُ فَلَمْ تَجِدْ عَلَى بَابِهِ بَوَّابِينَ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَمْ أَعْرِفْكَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّمَا الصَّبْرُ عِنْدَ أَوَّلِ صَدْمَةٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ أَوْ قَالَ ‏"‏ عِنْدَ أَوَّلِ الصَّدْمَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Rapporté par Anas b. Malik : Le Messager d’Allah ﷺ est allé voir une femme qui pleurait la perte de son enfant et lui a dit : « Crains Allah et sois patiente. » Ne le reconnaissant pas, elle répondit : « Tu n’as pas été touché comme moi. » Quand le Prophète ﷺ partit, on lui dit que c’était le Messager d’Allah ﷺ. Elle fut bouleversée. Elle se rendit à sa porte et ne trouva pas de gardiens. Elle dit : « Ô Messager d’Allah, je ne t’avais pas reconnu. » Il répondit : « La patience doit être montrée dès le premier choc. »
