It was narrated from Umm Salamah that Abu Salamah told her that he heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say:"There is no Muslim who is stricken with a calamity and reacts by saying as Allah has commanded:
إنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
اللَّهُمَّ عِنْدَكَ احْتَسَبْتُ مُصِيبَتِي فَأْجُرْنِي فِيهَا وَأَبْدِلْنِي مِنْهَا خَيْرًا
"Surely to Allah we belong and to Him we will all return.
O Allah, I seek reward with You for my affliction, so reward me for it, and replace it for me with something better."
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 (ﷺ) and I said: (Truly, to Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return. O Allah, with You I seek reward for my calamity, so reward me for it).' But when I wanted to say (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 (ﷺ) and rewarded me for my calamity."(Sunan Ibn Majah 1598 )
