3431. ‘Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Whoever sees a person afflicted and says: ‘All praise is due to Allāh
Who saved me from that which He has afflicted you with, and blessed me greatly over many of those whom He has created, (Al-Hamdulillāhi Alladhī 'Āfāni Mimmābtalāka Bihi Wa Faddalāni 'Alā Kathīrin Mimman Khalaqa Tafdīla)' then he shall be saved from that affliction for as long as he lives." (Ḍā'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb. There is something on this topic from Abū Hurairah. 'Amr bin Dīnār, the steward of the family of Az-Zubair is a Shaikh from Al-Baṣrah; he is not that strong in Hadīth, and he is alone in narrating some Aḥādīth from Sālim bin 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar. It has been related from Abū Ja'far Muḥammad bin 'Alī that he said: "When he sees an afflicted person he says that to himself and does not let the afflicted person hear."

Commentary
Allāh ﷻ puts His servant in trouble for a purpose, so refuge should be sought in Him. This supplication should be recited secretly in the heart so that any afflicted person should not hear it and become sad.
