English narration
Narrated by أنس بن مالك الأنصاري
Narrated Anas: The Prophet ﷺ came upon a woman who was weeping for her child. He said to her: Fear Allah and have patience. She said: What have you to do with my calamity ? She was then told that he was the Prophet ﷺ. She, therefore, came to him. She did not find doorkeepers at his gate. She said: I did not recognize you, Messenger of Allah. He said: Endurance is shown only at a first blow.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : أَتَى نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ تَبْكِي عَلَى صَبِيٍّ لَهَا ، فَقَالَ لَهَا "
اتَّقِي اللَّهَ ، وَاصْبِرِي ، فَقَالَتْ : وَمَا تُبَالِي أَنْتَ بِمُصِيبَتِي ؟ فَقِيلَ لَهَا : هَذَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَتَتْهُ ، فَلَمْ تَجِدْ عَلَى بَابِهِ بَوَّابِينَ ، فَقَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، لَمْ أَعْرِفْكَ . فَقَالَ : إِنَّمَا الصَّبْرُ عِنْدَ الصَّدْمَةِ الْأُولَى ، أَوْ عِنْدَ أَوَّلِ صَدْمَةٍ
