Dua When Struck by a Calamity

إِنَّا لِلّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُوْنَ ، اَللّٰهُمَّ أْجُرْنِيْ فِيْ مُصِيْبَتِيْ ، وَأَخْلِفْ لِيْ خَيْرًا مِنْهَا

Translation :

To Allah we belong and unto Him is our return. O Allah, recompense me for my affliction and replace it for me with something better.

Transliteration :

Innā lillāhi wa innā ilayhi rājiʿūn, Allāhumma-‘jurnī fī muṣībatī, wa akhlif lī khayram-minha.

Hadith:

Umm Salamah (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhā) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, “There is no Muslim who is afflicted with a calamity, and then says what Allah has commanded him [the above supplication], except that Allah will recompense him with something better than it.” She says: “When Abū Salamah (her first husband) passed away, I said, ‘Which Muslim is better than Abū Salamah – the first household to migrate to the Messenger of Allah?’ I then said (the above duʿā’), and Allah recompensed me (by marrying me to) the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” (Muslim 918)
