حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِکِ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ الْجُمَحِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ أَنَّ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَهَا أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يُصَابُ بِمُصِيبَةٍ فَيَفْزَعُ إِلَی مَا أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِهِ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ اللَّهُمَّ عِنْدَکَ احْتَسَبْتُ مُصِيبَتِي فَأْجُرْنِي فِيهَا وَعَوِّضْنِي مِنْهَا إِلَّا آجَرَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهَا وَعَاضَهُ خَيْرًا مِنْهَا قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ ذَکَرْتُ الَّذِي حَدَّثَنِي عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ اللَّهُمَّ عِنْدَکَ احْتَسَبْتُ مُصِيبَتِي هَذِهِ فَأْجُرْنِي عَلَيْهَا فَإِذَا أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَقُولَ وَعِضْنِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا قُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي أُعَاضُ خَيْرًا مِنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ثُمَّ قُلْتُهَا فَعَاضَنِي اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَآجَرَنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1598
It was narrated from Umm Salamah that Abu Salamah told her that he heard the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H say: There is no Muslim who is stricken with a calamity and reacts by saying as Allah has commmanded: (Truly, to Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return. a Allah, with You I seek reward for my calamity, so reward me for it and compensate me).' but Allah will reward him for that and compensate him with something better than it." She said: "When Abu Salamah died, I remembered what he had told me from the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H and I said: 'lnna lillahi, wa inna ilayhi raji'un.(Truly, to Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return. 0 Allah, with You I seek reward for my calamity, so reward me lor it).' But when I wanted to say wa 'awwidni minha. (and compensate me with better), I said to myself: 'How can I be compensated with something better than Abu Salamah?' Then I said it, and Allah compensated me with Muhammad P.B.U.H and rewarded me for my calamity." (Hasan)
