Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "No Muslim is afflicted with a calamity and says what Allah has commanded him to say—'Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed, to Him we will return. O Allah, reward me in my affliction and replace it for me with something better'—except that Allah will replace it for him with something better." When Abu Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) died, she said, "Which Muslim is better than Abu Salamah, the first household to migrate to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)?" Then she said the supplication, and Allah replaced him for her with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).
