[2126] 3 - (918) It was narrated that Umm Salamah said: "I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'There is no Muslim who is stricken with a calamity and says what Allāh has enjoined - Innālillāhi wainnā ilaihi rāji'ūn. Allāhummajurnī fī muṣibātī wa akhlif li khairan minhā (Verily to Allāh we belong and unto Him is our return. O Allāh, reward me for my affliction and compensate me with something better) - but Allāh will compensate him with something better." She said: "When Abū Salamah died, I said: 'Who among the Muslims is better than Abū Salamah, the first household to emigrate to join the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ?' Then I said it, and Allāh compensated me with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ." She said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ sent Hātib bin Abī Balṭa'ah to me with his proposal of marriage, but I said: 'I have a daughter and I am of a jealous nature.' He said: 'As for her daughter, we will pray to Allāh to make her independent of her, and I pray that Allāh will take away her jealousy.”

3 - (918) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ، وَابْنُ حُجْرٍ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ ابْنُ أَيُّوبَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَعْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ كَثِيرِ بْنِ أَفْلَحَ، عَنْ ابْنَ سَفِينَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: " مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ تُصِيبُهُ مُصِيبَةٌ، فَيَقُولُ مَا أَمَرَهُ اللهُ: {إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ} [البقرة: 156]، اللهُمَّ أْجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي، وَأَخْلِفْ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا، إِلَّا أَخْلَفَ اللهُ لَهُ خَيْرًا مِنْهَا "، قَالَتْ: فَلَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، قُلْتُ: أَيُّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ؟ أَوَّلُ بَيْتٍ هَاجَرَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ إِنِّي قُلْتُهَا، فَأَخْلَفَ اللهُ لِي رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَتْ: أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَاطِبَ بْنَ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ يَخْطُبُنِي لَهُ، فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ لِي بِنْتًا وَأَنَا غَيُورٌ، فَقَالَ: «أَمَّا ابْنَتُهَا فَنَدْعُو اللهَ أَنْ يُغْنِيَهَا عَنْهَا، وَأَدْعُو اللهَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ بِالْغَيْرَةِ»
