وعنها قالت: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول:"ما من عبد تصيبه مصيبه، فيقول إن لله وإنا إليه راجعون: اللهم آجرني في مصيبتي، واخلف لي خيرا منها، إلا آجره الله تعالي في مصيبته واخلف له خيراً منها. قالت: فلما توفي أبو سلمة، قلت كما أمرني رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ، فاخلف الله خيراص منه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم “ ((رواه مسلم)).
Kutoka kwa Umm Salamah (Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake) reported: "I heard the Mjumbe wa Allah (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake) saying, "When a person suffers from a calamity and utters: 'Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un. Allahumma ujurni fi musibati, wakhluf li khairan minha (We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return. O Allah! Compensate me in my affliction, recompense my loss and give me something better in exchange for it), then Allah surely compensates him with reward and better substitute." Umm Salamah (May Allah be pleased with her) said: When Abu Salamah (May Allah be pleased with him) died, I repeated the same dua as the Mjumbe wa Allah (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake) had commanded me (to do). So Allah bestowed upon me a better substitute than him (I was married to Muhammad, the Mjumbe wa Allah (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake)).."
