أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُقْرِئُ أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْقَاضِي، ثنا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ، ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثنا سَعْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ كَثِيرِ بْنِ أَفْلَحَ، عَنِ ابْنِ سَفِينَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ تُصِيبُهُ مُصِيبَةٌ فَيَقُولُ مَا أَمَرَهُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ ⦗١٠٨⦘ رَاجِعُونَ اللهُمَّ أُؤْجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي وَاخْلُفْ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا، إِلَّا أَخْلَفَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُ خَيْرًا مِنْهَا "، قَالَتْ: فَلَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، قُلْتُ أِيُّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، أَوَّلُ بَيْتٍ هَاجَرَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ إِنِّي قُلْتُهَا فَأَخْلَفَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِي رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ: فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَاطِبَ بْنَ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ يَخْطُبُنِي لَهُ فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ لِي بِنْتًا وَأَنَا غَيُورٌ، فَقَالَ: " أَمَّا ابْنَتُهَا فَنَدْعُو اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ يُغْنِيَهَا وَأَدْعُو اللهَ أَنْ يُذْهِبَ الْغَيْرَةَ " رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ قُتَيْبَةَ، وَغَيْرِهِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ.
Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "There is no Muslim who is struck by a calamity and says what Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has commanded him: 'Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un, Allahumma'jurni fi musibati wakhluf li khayran minha' (We belong to Allah and to Him we return; O Allah, reward me in my calamity and give me something better than it in its place), except that Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, gives him something better than it in its place." She said: When Abu Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) died, I said: Which of the Muslims is better than Abu Salamah? His was the first household to emigrate to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then I said those words, and Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, gave me the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in his place. She said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Hatib bin Abi Balta'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) to me to propose marriage to me on his behalf. I said: I have a daughter, and I am a jealous woman. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "As for her daughter, we will pray to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, to make her free of need, and I will pray to Allah to take away the jealousy."
