إنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إلَيْهِ رَاجِعُوْنَ ، اللَّهُمَّ أْجُرْنِْي فِيْ مُصِيْبَتِيْ ، وَأَخْلِفْ لِيْ خَيْرًا مِنْهَا
Translation: We are from Allah and to Him do we return. O Allah, reward me for my affliction and give me something better in return for it.
Transliteration: Innā lillāhi wa innā ilayhi rājiʿūn, Allāhumma’-jurnī fī muṣībitī, wa-akhlif lī khayran minhā.
Virtue: Umm Salamah (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhā) reported: “I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘There is no servant [of Allah] who has been afflicted with a calamity and then says [the above] without Allah rewarding him for his affliction and giving him something better than it.’”
Umm Salamah (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhā) also related: “When Abū Salamah passed away, I said what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had instructed me to say, and Allah gave me someone better than Abū Salamah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” (Muslim 918)
