وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَتَى عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ تَبْكِي عَلَى صَبِيٍّ لَهَا ، فَقَالَ لَهَا : " اتَّقِي اللَّهَ وَاصْبِرِي " ، فَقَالَتْ : وَمَا تُبَالِي بِمُصِيبَتِي ، فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ . قِيلَ لَهَا : إِنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَخَذَهَا مِثْلُ الْمَوْتِ ، فَأَتَتْ بَابَهُ فَلَمْ تَجِدْ عَلَى بَابِهِ بَوَّابِينَ ، فَقَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، لَمْ أَعْرِفْكَ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّمَا الصَّبْرُ عِنْدَ أَوَّلِ صَدْمَةٍ " ، أَوَ قَالَ : " عِنْدَ أَوَّلِ الصَّدْمَةِ " .
Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to a woman who had been weeping for her (dead) child, and said to her: Fear Allah and show endurance. She (not recognising him) said: You have not been afflicted as I have been. When he (the Holy Prophet) had departed, it was said to her that he was the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) , she was mortally shocked. She came to his door and she did not find doorkeepers at his door. She said: Messenger of Allah. I did not recognise you. He said: Endurance is to be shown at first blow, or at the first blow.
