الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ
Alhamdu lillahi 'ala kulli hal
All praise is due to Allah in every condition.
The Prophet ﷺ would say this when he received news he disliked. Not just when things go well — in every condition. This is the hardest form of gratitude: praising Allah when the test is painful, the news is bad, and the outcome is not what you wanted. It is the verbal discipline of someone who trusts the plan behind the pain.

O Allah, praise is Yours. You are the Light of the heavens and the earth and all within them. Praise is Yours. You are the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth and all within them. Praise is Yours. You are the Truth, Your promise is true, the meeting with You is true, Your word is true, Paradise is true, the Fire is true, the Prophets are true, Muhammad is true, and the Hour is true. O Allah, to You I have submitted, in You I have believed, upon You I have relied, to You I have turned in repentance, by You I have argued, and to You I have referred for judgement. So forgive me for what I have sent ahead and what I have left behind, what I have concealed and what I have made public. You are the One who brings forward and the One who puts back. There is no god but You.
