(حُسْنُ مُعَامَلَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَعَ امْرَأَةٍ جَاهِلَةٍ)
(The good treatment of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, with an ignorant woman)
Hadith 5810
وَعَنْهُ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً كَانَتْ فِي عَقْلِهَا شَيْءٌ فَقَالَت: يَا رَسُول الله إِنِّي لِي إِلَيْكَ حَاجَّةً فَقَالَ: «يَا أُمَّ فُلَانٍ انْظُرِي أَيَّ السِّكَكِ شِئْتِ حَتَّى أَقْضِيَ لَكِ حَاجَتَكِ» فَخَلَا مَعَهَا فِي بَعْضِ الطُّرُقِ حَتَّى فرغت من حَاجَتهَا. رَوَاهُ مُسلم
He told that a woman whose mind was affected said, "Messenger of God, I want something from you[*]." He replied, "Mother of so and so, consider which of the streets you wish so that I may accomplish what you want." He then went alone with her into a road till she got all she wanted. *Presumably meaning that she wished to speak to him privately about something. Muslim transmitted it.
