Seeking Advice from the Right People

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a woman who asked the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) for advice and he told her to go to Abu Bakr if she could not find him.

Narrated Jubair bin Mut'im: that a woman came to the Messenger of Allah to speak to him about something. Then he ordered her with something, and she said: "What should I do O Messenger of Allah if I do not find you?" He said: "If you do not find me, then go to Abu Bakr".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ فَكَلَّمَتْهُ فِي شَيْءٍ وَأَمَرَهَا بِأَمْرٍ فَقَالَتْ أَرَأَيْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنْ لَمْ أَجِدْكَ قَالَ ‏ "‏ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدِينِي فَأْتِ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the importance of seeking advice from righteous people. It was narrated by Jubair bin Mut'im that a woman came to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) asking for something, and he ordered her with something. When she asked what she should do if she could not find him, he told her to go to Abu Bakr instead. This shows us that it is important for us to seek guidance from those who are knowledgeable in matters of faith and righteousness, as they can provide us with sound advice on how we should live our lives according to Islamic teachings. Furthermore, this hadith also teaches us about obedience; even though we may not understand why we have been given certain orders or instructions, it is important that we follow them anyway out of respect for those in authority over us.
