The Prophet ﷺ passed by a woman who was weeping beside a grave. He told her to fear Allah and be patient. She said to him, "Go away, for you have not been afflicted with a calamity like mine." And she did not recognize him. Then she was informed that he was the Prophet ﷺ . so she went to the house of the Prophet ﷺ and there she did not find any guard. Then she said to him, "I did not recognize you." He said, "Verily, the patience is at the first stroke of a calamity."

مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِامْرَأَةٍ تَبْكِي عِنْدَ قَبْرٍ فَقَالَ: «اتَّقِي اللَّهَ وَاصْبِرِي۔» قَالَتْ: إِلَيْكَ عَنِّي، فَإِنَّكَ لَمْ تُصَبْ بِمُصِيبَتِي، وَلَمْ تَعْرِفْهُ۔ فَقِيلَ لَهَا: «إِنَّهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ» فَأَتَتْ باب النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَلَمْ تَجِدْ عِنْدَهُ بَوَّابِينَ، فَقَالَتْ: لَمْ أَعْرِفْكَ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّمَا الصَّبْرُ عِنْدَ الصَّدْمَةِ الأُولَى۔»

'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 Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to you?' She replied, 'I did not recognize him.' The man said, 'He was Messenger of Allah 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 Messenger of Allah ﷺ! By Allah. I did not recognize you!' The Prophet said, 'No doubt, patience is at the first stroke of a calamity.'"
