بَابُ جَامِعِ الْحِسْبَةِ فِي الْمُصِيبَةِComprehensive Chapter on Consolation in Calamity
Hadith 560
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " مَنْ أَصَابَتْهُ مُصِيبَةٌ فَقَالَ كَمَا أَمَرَ اللَّهُ : إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ ، اللَّهُمَّ أجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي وَأَعْقِبْنِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا إِلَّا فَعَلَ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ بِهِ " . قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ : فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ قُلْتُ ذَلِكَ ، ثُمَّ قُلْتُ وَمَنْ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، فَأَعْقَبَهَا اللَّهُ رَسُولَهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَتَزَوَّجَهَا
Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “When a person is afflicted by a calamity, and then says as Allah has commanded «﴿إِنَّا لِلّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ﴾»: ‘O Lord! Reward me in my affliction and grant me better than it in exchange,’ then Allah, by His grace, will do just that for him.” Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) says: When my husband passed away, I recited this supplication, and then I thought to myself: Who could be better than Abu Salama? So Allah gave me in exchange that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) married me.
