بَابُ قُرْبِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ النَّاسِ ، وَتَبَرُّكِهِمْ بِهِ وَتوَاضُعِهِ لَهُمْChapter: His Closeness To The People, Their Seeking Blessing From Him And His Humility Towards Them
وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ : أَنَّ امْرَأَةً كَانَ فِي عَقْلِهَا شَيْءٌ ، فَقَالَتْ : " يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ لِي إِلَيْكَ حَاجَةً ، فَقَالَ : يَا أُمَّ فُلَانٍ ، انْظُرِي أَيَّ السِّكَكِ شِئْتِ ، حَتَّى أَقْضِيَ لَكِ حَاجَتَكِ ، فَخَلَا مَعَهَا فِي بَعْضِ الطُّرُقِ ، حَتَّى فَرَغَتْ مِنْ حَاجَتِهَا " .
Anas reported that a woman had a partial derangement in her mind, so she said: "Allah's Messenger, I want something from you." He said: Mother of so and so, see on which side of the road you would like (to stand and talk) so that I may do the needful for you. He stood aside with her on the roadside until she got what she needed.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: People are not willing to listen to the words of a person of weak intellect, but the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) separated himself on the road, and in accordance with the wish of a woman of weak intellect, listened to her words and remained standing with her until her matter was fulfilled.
