Volume 9, Book 89, Number 327:
Narrated Jubair bin Mut’im:
A woman came to the Prophet and spoke to him about something and he told her to return to him.
She said, “O Allah’s Apostle! 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.”
