Sahih al-Bukhari 2462 (Book 46, Hadith 23) #2357
Responding to the Death of Prophet Muhammad

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the death of Prophet Muhammad and how Abu Bakr and Umar responded to it.

Narrated 'Umar: When Allah took away the soul of His Prophet at his death, the Ansar assembled In the shed of Bani Sa'ida. I said to Abu Bakr, "Let us go". So, we come to them (ie to Ansar) at the shed of Bani Sa'ida.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ،‏.‏ وَأَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهم ـ قَالَ حِينَ تَوَفَّى اللَّهُ نَبِيَّهُ إِنَّ الأَنْصَارَ اجْتَمَعُوا فِي سَقِيفَةِ بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ، فَقُلْتُ لأَبِي بَكْرٍ انْطَلِقْ بِنَا‏.‏ فَجِئْنَاهُمْ فِي سَقِيفَةِ بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
When the beloved prophet Muhammad passed away, his companions were filled with grief. Umar and Abu Bakr were two of his closest companions who decided to go to where the Ansar had gathered in Bani Sa'ida's shed. They wanted to be with them in their time of sorrow and comfort them as much as they could. This hadith teaches us that when someone we love passes away, we should come together in solidarity and support each other during this difficult time. It also shows us that even though it is hard for us to accept such a loss, we must remember that Allah has a plan for all things and He knows best what is good for us.
