Authentic Supplications of the Prophet
About Minor and Great Afflictions Upon the Believer (132) |
Allah the Exalted said:
<<Those that say, when afflicted with calamity, 'Innã
lil-lãhi wa 'innã 'ilayhi rãji`oona(*)
They are those upon whom [descend] blessings from their Lord and Mercy.
And they are the ones who are guided.>> (Al- Baqarah 2:156-157)
'Ummu Salamata 
said: I heard the Messenger of Allah
saying: "There is not a slave afflicted with a calamity who then
says: 'Innã lil-lãhi wa 'innã 'ilayhi rãji`oona,
'allãhumma'jurnee fee museebatee, wa 'akhliflee khayran minhã(154)
except that Allah would grant him reward in his calamity, and would
succeed it with good consequence for him.
She said: So when Abu Salamata [her husband] died; I said like
the Messenger of Allah
had commanded me. So Allah caused him to be succeeded with one who
was better than him for me: the Messenger of Allah .
