Arabic (Original)
قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ أَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً أَتَتْ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَسْأَلُهُ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ لَهَا ارْجِعِي إِلَيَّ فَقَالَتْ فَإِنْ رَجَعْتُ فَلَمْ أَجِدْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تُعَرِّضُ بِالْمَوْتِ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَإِنْ رَجَعْتِ فَلَمْ تَجِدِينِي فَالْقَيْ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ.

He said: Yazid ibn Harun told us, he said: Ibrahim ibn Sa'd told us, from his father, from Ibn Jubayr ibn Mut'im, from his father, that a woman came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, asking him for something. He said to her: Return to me. She said: But if I return and do not find you, O Messenger of Allah - alluding to death - what then? The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to her: If you return and do not find me, then go to Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him.
