Sahih Muslim 918a

Translation

She said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "No Muslim is struck by a calamity and then says what Allah has commanded him, ”innā li-llāhi wa-innā ilayhi rājiʿūn. allāhumma uʾjurnī fī muṣībatī, wa-akhlif lī khayran minhā (Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed, to Him we return," O Allah, reward me in my calamity and replace it for me with something better than it) but Allah will replace it for him with something better than it." She said: When Abu Salamah died, I said, “Which of the Muslims is better than Abu Salamah? The first household to emigrate to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” Then I said it, and Allah replaced him for me with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Hatib ibn Abi Baltaʿah to me to propose to me on his behalf, so I said, “I have a daughter, and I am very jealous.” He said: "As for her daughter, we will supplicate to Allah to make her independent of her, and I will supplicate to Allah to remove the jealousy."

• قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ قُلْتُ أَىُّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ أَوَّلُ بَيْتٍ هَاجَرَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم. ثُمَّ إِنِّي قُلْتُهَا فَأَخْلَفَ اللَّهُ لِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم. قَالَتْ أَرْسَلَ إِلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَاطِبَ بْنَ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ يَخْطُبُنِي لَهُ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ لِي بِنْتًا وَأَنَا غَيُورٌ. فَقَالَ " أَمَّا ابْنَتُهَا فَنَدْعُو اللَّهَ أَنْ يُغْنِيَهَا عَنْهَا وَأَدْعُو اللَّهَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ بِالْغَيْرَةِ
