كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا أَتَاهُ الْأَمْرُ يَسُرُّهُ قَالَ: (الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي بِنِعْمَتِهِ تَتِمُّ الصَّالِحَاتُ) وَإِذَا أَتَاهُ الْأَمْرُ يَكْرَهُهُ قَالَ: (الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ)


English Translation:

When something happened that pleased him, the Prophet (ﷺ) used to say:
Alḥamdu lillāhi ‘lladhi bi ni`matihi tatimmuṣ-ṣāliḥāt.
And if something happened that displeased him, he used to say:
Alḥamdu lillāhi `alā kulli ḥāl.

When something happened that pleased him, the Prophet (ﷺ) used to say:
Praise is to Allah Who by His blessings all good things are perfected.

And if something happened that displeased him, he used to say:
Praise is to Allah in all circumstances.
