About Minor and Great Afflictions Upon the Believer
ALLAH Subhaanahu Wa Ta'ala said: "Those that say, when afflicted with calamity...
'Inna lil-lahi wa inna ilay hi raji'oon' (Surah Al Baqarah 2:156)
English meaning is: To Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta'alawe belong, and to Him is our return.
...They are those upon whom (descend) blessings from their Lord and Mercy. And they are the ones that are guided." (Surah al Baqarah 2:157)
Umm Salama Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anha said: I heard the Messenger of Allah Sallal Laahu Ta'ala Alayhi Wa Sallam saying: "There is not a slave afflicted with a calamity who then says:
Inna lil-lahi wa inna ilay hi raji'oona, allahumma'jur nee fee museebatee, wa akh lif lee khay ran minha" (Reported by Muslim, and is #114 in The Authentic of Good Sayings)
English meaning is: We are for Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta'ala, and we are, to Him, returning. 'O my ilah grant me reward in my calamity, and cause it to be succeeded with good consequence for me.
... except that Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta'ala would grant him reward in his calamity, and would succeed it with good consequences for him." (Muslim)
She (Umm Salama Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anha said: So when Abu Salama Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu (her husband) died: I said like the Messenger Sallal Laahu Ta'ala Alayhi Wa Sallam had commanded me. So Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta'ala caused him to succeed with one that was better than him for me: the Messenger of Allah Sallal Laahu Ta'ala Alayhi Wa Sallam. (i.e. she then married the Messenger of Allah Sallal Laahu Ta'ala Alayhi Wa Sallam
