The wives of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "There is no Muslim struck by a misfortune who says what Allah has commanded — 'We belong to Allah and to Him we return; O Allah, reward me in my misfortune and replace it for me with something better' — without Allah replacing it for him with something better." When Abu Salama died, I said: "Which Muslim is better than Abu Salama, the first household to emigrate to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" Then I said it, and Allah gave me the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in his place.
