Sahih Muslim 2126 — Book 11, Hadith 4

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ، وَابْنُ، حُجْرٍ جَمِيعًا عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، - قَالَ ابْنُ أَيُّوبَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، - أَخْبَرَنِي سَعْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ كَثِيرِ بْنِ أَفْلَحَ، عَنِ ابْنِ، سَفِينَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏"‏ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ تُصِيبُهُ مُصِيبَةٌ فَيَقُولُ مَا أَمَرَهُ اللَّهُ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ اللَّهُمَّ أْجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي وَأَخْلِفْ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا ‏.‏ إِلاَّ أَخْلَفَ اللَّهُ لَهُ خَيْرًا مِنْهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ قُلْتُ أَىُّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ أَوَّلُ بَيْتٍ هَاجَرَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏.‏ ثُمَّ إِنِّي قُلْتُهَا فَأَخْلَفَ اللَّهُ لِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏.‏ قَالَتْ أَرْسَلَ إِلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَاطِبَ بْنَ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ يَخْطُبُنِي لَهُ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ لِي بِنْتًا وَأَنَا غَيُورٌ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَمَّا ابْنَتُهَا فَنَدْعُو اللَّهَ أَنْ يُغْنِيَهَا عَنْهَا وَأَدْعُو اللَّهَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ بِالْغَيْرَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Rapporté par Umm Salama : Le Messager d’Allah ﷺ a dit : « Si un musulman qui subit une épreuve dit ce qu’Allah lui a ordonné : “Nous appartenons à Allah et c’est vers Lui que nous retournerons. Ô Allah, récompense-moi pour mon malheur et accorde-moi quelque chose de meilleur en échange”, Allah lui donnera quelque chose de meilleur en échange. » Quand Abu Salama est décédé, elle a dit : « Quel musulman est meilleur qu’Abu Salama, dont la famille a été la première à émigrer vers le Messager d’Allah ﷺ ? » Puis elle a prononcé ces paroles, et Allah lui a donné en échange le Messager d’Allah ﷺ. Elle a dit : Le Messager d’Allah ﷺ a envoyé Hatib b. Abu Balta’a pour me proposer le mariage. J’ai dit : « J’ai une fille à charge et je suis de nature jalouse. » Il (le Prophète) a dit : « Pour ta fille, nous invoquerons Allah afin qu’Il la libère de cette responsabilité, et j’invoquerai aussi Allah pour qu’Il enlève ta jalousie. »
