question #3 Sahih al-Bukhari 7220, Book 93, Hadith 80 : What does this interaction reveal about the relationship between the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and his companions?

A woman came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and spoke to him about something and he told her to return to him. She
said, “O Allah’s Messenger (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.”
