Sayyiduna Abu Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated to Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When anyone is afflicted by a calamity, he should say: {اِنَّالِلّٰہِوَاِنَّااِلَیْہِرَاجِعُوْنَ} "O Allah! With You I seek reward for my calamity, so reward me for it and grant me something better in exchange for it." (Indeed, we belong to Allah and indeed to Him we shall return. O Allah! I seek reward from You for my calamity, so grant me reward in it and give me something better in exchange for it.) Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: So when Sayyiduna Abu Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, Allah Almighty gave me a better husband in exchange for him.
