A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and spoke to him about something and he told her to return to him. She said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! If I come and do not find you?" (As if she meant, "...if you die?") The Prophet said, "If you should not find me, then go to Abu Bakr."

أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ امْرَأَةٌ فَكَلَّمَتْهُ فِي شَىْءٍ فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَرْجِعَ إِلَيْهِ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ جِئْتُ وَلَمْ أَجِدْكَ كَأَنَّهَا تُرِيدُ الْمَوْتَ قَالَ إِنْ لَمْ تَجِدِينِي فَأْتِي أَبَا بَكْرٍ

A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ who ordered her to return to him again. She said, "What if I came and did not find you?" as if she wanted to say, "If I found you dead?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "If you should not find me, go to Abu Bakr."

أَتَتِ امْرَأَةٌ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَرْجِعَ إِلَيْهِ قَالَتْ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ جِئْتُ وَلَمْ أَجِدْكَ كَأَنَّهَا تَقُولُ الْمَوْتَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ إِنْ لَمْ تَجِدِينِي فَأْتِي أَبَا بَكْرٍ

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ once had a conversation with a woman and then instructed her to come back to him. She asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, what if I come back and cannot find you?' It was as if she meant death. He replied, 'If you cannot find me, then go to Abu Bakr.'"

أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ امْرَأَةٌ فَكَلَّمَتْهُ فِي شَيْءٍ فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَرْجِعَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ رَجَعْتُ فَلَمْ أَجِدْكَ كَأَنَّهَا تَعْنِي الْمَوْتَ قَالَ «فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدِينِي فَائْتِ* أَبَا بَكْرٍ»

[Machine] A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and spoke to him about something. He commanded her to go back to him, so she said, "O Messenger of Allah, if I come and do not find you, it means death." He said, "If you do not find me, go to Abu Bakr."

أَتَتِ امْرَأَةٌ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَكَلَّمَتْهُ بِشَيْءٍ فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَرْجِعَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنْ جِئْتُ وَلَمْ أَجِدْكَ تَعْنِي الْمَوْتَ قَالَ «إِنْ لَمْ تَجِدِينِي فَائْتِي أَبَا بَكْرٍ»
