Remembrance 1 from Chapter 113

Innā li-llāhi wa innā ilayhi rāji‘ūn. Allāhumma ajirnī fī muṣībatī wa akhlif lī khayran minhā.

WE RELATE FROM the Ṣaḥīḥ of Muslim from Umm Salamah who reported: “I heard the Messenger of Allah say: ‘There is no servant [of Allah] who has been afflicted with a calamity and then says: We are from Allah and to Him do we return (Qur’ān 2:156). O Allah, reward me for my affliction and give me something better in return for it without Allah rewarding him for his affliction and giving him something better than it.’” Umm Salamah also related: “When Abū Salamah passed away I said what the Messenger of Allah had instructed me to say, and Allah gave me someone better than Abū Salamah: the Messenger of Allah .” ^[1].
