tabarani:20345Ibrāhīm b. Duḥaym from my father > Sūwayd b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz > Shaddād Abū Muḥammad > Abū Sallām al-Aswad > Um Salamah

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by me while I was crying over Abu Salama. He said, "Shall I not guide you to something better than what you have been saying? You should supplicate, 'O Allah, make my condition better and compensate me with something better than it.'" So, I returned and said what he told me, and then I started saying, "Where is someone like Abu Salama for me?" She said, "Allah replaced him with someone better, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."  

الطبراني:٢٠٣٤٥حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ دُحَيْمٍ ثنا أَبِي ثنا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا شَدَّادُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَّامٍ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ

مَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا أَبْكِي عَلَى أَبِي سَلَمَةَ فَقَالَ «أَلَا أَدُلُّكِ عَلَى خَيْرٍ مِمَّا تَقُولِينَ؟ تَسْتَرْجِعِينَ وَتَقُولِينَ اللهُمَّ أَحْسِنْ عُقْبَايَ وَاجْبُرْ مُصِيبَتِي وَأَبْدِلْنِي بِهِ خَيْرًا مِنْهُ» فَرَجَعْتُ وَقُلْتُ مَا قَالَ لِي ثُمَّ جَعَلْتُ أَقُولُ وَأَيْنَ لِي بِمِثْلِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ؟ قَالَتْ وَأَبْدَلَنِي اللهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا مِنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ
