حَدَّثَنِي عَبَّادُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ : " أَنَّ امْرَأَةً سَأَلَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْئًا ، فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَرْجِعَ إِلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ جِئْتُ فَلَمْ أَجِدْكَ ؟ قَالَ أَبِي : كَأَنَّهَا تَعْنِي الْمَوْتَ ، قَالَ : فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدِينِي فَأْتِي أَبَا بَكْرٍ " .
Muhammad bin Jubair bin Mut'im reported on the authority of his father that a woman asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about something but lit, told her to come to him on some other occasion, whereupon she said: What in your opinion (should I do) if I come to you but do not find you, and it seemed as if she meant that he might die. Thereupon he said: If you do not find me, then come to Abu Bakr. This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Jubair bin Mut'im through another chain of transmitters (and the words are) that a woman came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and discussed with him something and he gave a command as we find in the above-mentioned narration.
