In the saying of Umm Salama: (and He replaced him for me with a good replacement), is this prescribed in the absence of parents?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. In the saying of Umm Salama:
and bestow upon me a better future (give me a better substitute) وأعقبني منه عقبة حسنة
Riyad as-Salihin 920
Is it prescribed to say this in the absence of a friend, a brother, or a son, unlike in the case of parents?

The Shaykh : No, it is prescribed in all cases, including parents, because the treatment of parents toward their son or daughter may not be something that pleases the eye, and the hadith is general
except for the one whom Allah grants patience in his calamity and replaces him with something better than it إلا ىجره الله في مصيبته وأخلفه خيراً منها
