[2127] 4 - (...) Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, said: “I heard the Prophet ﷺ say: ‘There is no person who is afflicted with a calamity and says: ‘Innālillāhi wainnā ilaihi rāji‘ūn. Allāhummajurnī fī muṣibati 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 reward him for his affliction and compensate him with something better.’” She said: “When Abū Salamah died, I said what the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ enjoined me to say, and Allāh compensated me with someone better than him, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.”

Arabic text

4 - (918) وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ كَثِيرِ بْنِ أَفْلَحَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ سَفِينَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، تَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: " مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ تُصِيبُهُ مُصِيبَةٌ، فَيَقُولُ: {إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ} [البقرة: 156]، اللهُمَّ أْجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي، وَأَخْلِفْ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا، إِلَّا أَجَرَهُ اللهُ فِي مُصِيبَتِهِ، وَأَخْلَفَ لَهُ خَيْرًا مِنْهَا "، قَالَتْ: فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، قُلْتُ: كَمَا أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَخْلَفَ اللهُ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهُ، رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
