Riyad as-Salihin — Hadith #46105

On her authority, she said: I heard the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, saying: “There is no servant who is afflicted with a calamity, and he says, ‘Indeed, to Allah we belong, and to Him we shall return: O God, reward me for my calamity, and give me something better than it.’ Except that God Almighty will reward him for his calamity and give him something better than it.” She said: When Abu Salamah died, I said as the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, had commanded me, so God replaced him with a reward for the Messenger of God. May God bless him and grant him peace.” (Narrated by: Muslim)..
