اُردوEn
وَعَنْهَا أَيْضًا قَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ((مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ تُصِيبُهُ مُصِيبَةٌ فَيَقُولُ {إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ} اللَّهُمَّ أَجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي وَاخْلُفْ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا إِلَّا أَجَرَهُ اللَّهُ فِي مُصِيبَتِهِ وَأَخْلَفَ لَهُ خَيْرًا مِنْهَا)) قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ قُلْتُ مَنْ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ عَزَمَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِي فَقُلْتُهَا اللَّهُمَّ أَجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي وَاخْلُفْ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا قَالَتْ فَتَزَوَّجْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ
It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever, after being afflicted by a calamity, recites this supplication: {اِنَّا لِلّٰہِ وَاِنَّا اِلَیْہِ رَاجِعُوْنَ} "O Allah, reward me in my calamity and grant me something better in exchange for it." (Indeed, we belong to Allah and indeed to Him we shall return. O Allah! Reward me in my calamity and grant me a better substitute for it), then Allah Almighty grants him reward in his calamity and gives him a better substitute. So when my husband, Sayyiduna Abu Salama (may Allah be pleased with him), passed away, I said: Who can be better than the Companion of the Messenger of Allah, Abu Salama (may Allah be pleased with him)? But then Allah Almighty granted me strength and patience, and I recited this supplication: O Allah! Reward me in my calamity and grant me a better substitute for it. Thus, I married the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … It is understood that the one afflicted by a calamity should recite this supplication: "Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un, Allahumma’jurni fi musibati wakhluf li khayran minha." From the blessed ahadith that have already been mentioned, it is evident that at the beginning of this supplication, one should add "Alhamdulillah."
