Sunan Abi Dawud 4818 (Book 43, Hadith 46) #25109
Compassion and Kindness of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) showed kindness and compassion to a woman in need by sitting with her until she was able to fulfill her need.

Narrated Anas ibn Malik: A woman came to the Messenger of Allah and said: Messenger of Allah: I have some need with you. He said to her: Mother of so and so, sit in the corner of any street you wish and I shall sit with you. So she sat and the Messenger of Allah also sat with her till she fulfilled her need. The narrator Ibn 'Isa did not mention "till she fulfilled her need". And Kathir said: from Humaid on the authority of Anas.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى بْنِ الطَّبَّاعِ، وَكَثِيرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ، - قَالَ ابْنُ عِيسَى قَالَ - حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِي إِلَيْكَ حَاجَةً ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهَا ‏ "‏ يَا أُمَّ فُلاَنٍ اجْلِسِي فِي أَىِّ نَوَاحِي السِّكَكِ شِئْتِ حَتَّى أَجْلِسَ إِلَيْكِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَجَلَسَتْ فَجَلَسَ النَّبِيُّ إِلَيْهَا حَتَّى قَضَتْ حَاجَتَهَا ‏.‏ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ ابْنُ عِيسَى حَتَّى قَضَتْ حَاجَتَهَا ‏.‏ وَقَالَ كَثِيرٌ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ
