It was
narrated that ‘Aishah said: “A Jewish woman had died, and the
Prophet (ﷺ) heard the weeping for her. He said: ‘Her family is
weeping for her, and she is being punished in her grave.’”

It was
narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: “Patience should come with the first shock.”

It was
narrated from Abu Umamah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Allah
says:
‘O son of Adam! If you are patient and seek reward at the moment
of
first shock, I will not approve of any reward for you less than
Paradise.’”

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:
‘Inna
lillahi, wa inna ilayhi raji’un. Allahumma indaka ahtasabtu
musibati, fajurni fiha, wa ‘awwidni minha (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 and compensate me),’ 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: ‘Inna
lillahi, wa inna
ilayhi raji’un. Allahumma indaka ahtasabtu
musibati, fajurni alaiha
(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 wa ‘awwidni minha
(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.”

It was
narrated that ‘Aishah said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
opened
a door that was between him and the people or drew back a
curtain and
he saw the people praying behind Abu Bakr. He praised
Allah for what
he saw of their good situation and hoped that Allah
succeed him by
what he saw in them.* He said: ‘O people, whoever among
the people
or among the believers is stricken with a calamity, then
let him
console himself with the loss of me, for no one among my
nation will
be stricken with any calamity worse than my loss.’”

It was
narrated from Fatimah bint Husain that her father said: The
Prophet
(ﷺ) said: “Whoever was stricken with a calamity and when he
remembers it he says ‘Inna lillahi, wa inna ilayhi raji’un
(Truly, to
Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return),’
even though it
happened a long time ago, Allah will record for him a
reward like that
of the day it befell him.”

Qais,
Abu ‘Umarah, the freed slave of the Ansar, said: “I heard
‘Abdullah bin Abu Bakr bin Muhammad bin ‘Amr bin Hazm narrating
from
his father, from his grandfather, that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
‘There
is no believer who consoles for his brother for a calamity,
but Allah
will clothe him with garments of honor on the Day of
Resurrection.’”

It was
narrated that ‘Abdullah said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
‘Whoever consoles a person stricken by calamity will have a
reward
equal to his.’”

It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (ﷺ) was
attending a
funeral. ‘Umar saw a woman and shouted at her, but the
Prophet
(ﷺ) said, “Leave her alone, O ‘Umar, for the eye weeps and
the
heart is afflicted, and the bereavement is recent.”

It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “No
man who
loses three of his children will ever enter the Fire, except
in
fulfillment of the oath (of Allah).”*
