Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: And Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us, and Abu Usamah narrated to us from Sa'd ibn Sa'id, who said: Umar ibn Kathir ibn Aflah informed me, saying: I heard Ibn Sufayn narrating that he heard Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), saying: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ تُصِيبُهُ مُصِيبَةٌ، فَيَقُولُ: إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ اللهُمَّ أْجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي، وَأَخْلِفْ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا، إِلَّا آجَرَهُ اللهُ فِي مُصِيبَتِهِ There is no servant who is struck by a calamity and says: "Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we return. O Allah, reward me in my calamity and replace for me something better than it," except that Allah will reward him in his calamity

The Shaykh : "Except that He will reward him." If you say "O Allah, reward me," you say "He will reward him." And if you say "O Allah, reward me" with a long alif, you say "He will reward him."
The reader:
then Allah surely compensates him with reward and better substitute." Umm Salamah (May Allah be pleased with her) said: When Abu Salamah (May Allah be pleased with him) died, I repeated the same supplication as the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had commanded me (to do). So Allah bestowed upon me a better substitute than him (I was married to Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)). إلا أجره وَأَخْلَفَ لَهُ خَيْرًا مِنْهَا قَالَتْ: فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، قُلْتُ: كَمَا أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَخْلَفَ اللهُ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهُ، رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
