Sahih al-Bukhari 6885 (Book 93, Hadith 18)
“Yes.” He said, “The Prophet (ﷺ) passed by her while she was weeping over a grave, and he said to her,
‘Be afraid of Allah and be patient.’ The woman said (to the Prophet). ‘Go away from me, for you do
not know my calamity.'” Anas added, “The Prophet (ﷺ) left her and proceeded. A man passed by her and
asked her, ‘What has Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said to you?’ She replied, ‘I did not recognize him.’ The man said,
‘He was Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ).”‘ Anas added, “So that woman came to the gate of the Prophet (ﷺ) and she did
not find a gate-keeper there, and she said, ‘O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! By Allah. I did not recognize you!’ The
Prophet said, ‘No doubt, patience is at the first stroke of a calamity.'”
