حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَاصِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " إِذَا أَصَابَ أَحَدَكُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ فَلْيَقُلْ : إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ سورة البقرة آية 156 اللَّهُمَّ عِنْدَكَ احْتَسَبْتُ مُصِيبَتِي فَأْجُرْنِي فِيهَا وَأَبْدِلْنِي مِنْهَا خَيْرًا " ، فَلَمَّا احْتُضِرَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ اخْلُفْ فِي أَهْلِي خَيْرًا مِنِّي ، فَلَمَّا قُبِضَ ، قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ : إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ سورة البقرة آية 156 عِنْدَ اللَّهِ احْتَسَبْتُ مُصِيبَتِي فَأْجُرْنِي فِيهَا . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ ، وَرُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ غَيْرِ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ اسْمُهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَسَدِ .
´Umar bin Abu Salamah narrated from his mother, Umm Salamah, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “When a calamity strikes one of you, then let him say: ‘Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return. O Allah, I seek reward with You for my affliction, so reward me for it, and replace it for me with something better (Innā lillāhi wa innā ilaihi rāji`ūn, Allāhumma `indaka aḥtasibu muṣībatī fa’jurnī fīhā wa abdilnī minhā khair).’” When the time of death was near Abu Salamah, he said: ‘O Allah, replace me for my wife, with better than me.” So when he died, Umm Salamah said: “Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return. I seek reward with Allah for my affliction, so reward me for it.”

Benefits and Issues:
➊ The reward for patience in the face of calamity is granted both in the Hereafter and, due to patience, Allah’s blessings are also attained in this world.
➋ The command of Allah alluded to in this hadith refers to Allah’s statement in the Noble Qur’an:
﴿وَبَشِّرِ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ ﴿155﴾ ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَآ أَصَـٰبَتْهُم مُّصِيبَةٌ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا لِلَّـهِ وَإِنَّآ إِلَيْهِ رَٰجِعُونَ ﴿156﴾أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ صَلَوَٰتٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَرَحْمَةٌ ۖ وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُهْتَدُونَ﴾ (al-Baqarah: 155–157)
“And give glad tidings to those who are patient, those who, when a calamity befalls them, say: ‘Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed, to Him we shall return.’ Upon them are blessings from their Lord and mercy, and it is they who are the rightly guided.”
➌ This demonstrates the perfection of the faith of the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum ajma‘in): that apparently, there was no likelihood of this supplication being accepted, yet even so, Umm Salamah (radi Allahu anha), in obedience to the Prophetic command (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), made the supplication and regarded the Prophetic statement as true and certain.
➍ Those who have faith in Allah’s promises—Allah fulfills their needs and completes His promises.
