إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ، اللَّهُمَّ أْجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي وَأَخْلِفْ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un. Allahumma ajurni fi musibati wa akhlif li khayran minha
Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return. O Allah, reward me for my affliction and replace it with something better.
Umm Salamah (RA) narrated that when her husband Abu Salamah died, she said this du'a — but thought: "Who could be better than Abu Salamah?" Allah replaced him with the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ himself, who married her. She said: "Allah indeed gave me someone better." The du'a works for every loss — health, wealth, relationships. Ask for the reward in the loss and the replacement after it.
