Umm Salama, the wife of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:If any servant (of Allah) who suffers a calamity says:" We belong to Allah and to Him shall we return; O Allah, reward me for my affliction and give me something better than it in exchange for it," ' Allah will give him reward for affliction, and would give him something better than it in exchange. She (Umm Salama) said: When Abu Salama died. I uttered (these very words) as I was commanded (to do) by the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). So Allah gave me better in exchange than him. i. e. (I was taken as the wife of) the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)

وحدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا ابو اسامة، عن سعد بن سعيد، قال اخبرني عمر بن كثير بن افلح، قال سمعت ابن سفينة، يحدث انه سمع ام سلمة، زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم تقول سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول " ما من عبد تصيبه مصيبة فيقول انا لله وانا اليه راجعون اللهم اجرني في مصيبتي واخلف لي خيرا منها الا اجره الله في مصيبته واخلف له خيرا منها " . قالت فلما توفي ابو سلمة قلت كما امرني رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فاخلف الله لي خيرا منه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم
