3892. It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever unexpectedly comes across a person suffering a calamity, and says: Al-hamdu Lillāhil-ladhi 'afāni mim-mabtalākā bihi, wa faddalani 'ala kathirin mimman khalaqa tafāila (Praise is to Allāh Who has kept me safe from that which has afflicted you and preferred me over many of those whom He has created), will be kept safe from that calamity, no matter what it is." (Da'if)
3892 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ مُصْعَبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ - وَلَيْسَ بِصَاحِبِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ، مَوْلَى آلِ الزُّبَيْرِ - عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ فَجِئَهُ صَاحِبُ بَلَاءٍ، فَقَالَ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي عَافَانِي مِمَّا ابْتَلَاكَ بِهِ، وَفَضَّلَنِي عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِمَّنْ خَلَقَ تَفْضِيلًا، عُوفِيَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْبَلَاءِ، كَائِنًا مَا كَانَ "

a. Upon seeing someone suffering trial or tribulation, one may value his own safety and welfare highly. So, one should be grateful to Allāh for His blessings. b. This supplication should be said privately and secretly, so that the distressed person does not hear it, otherwise it would make him sad.
