1153. To Say “Indeed we belong to Allah and to Him do we indeed return” when Struck with an Affliction

(وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُمْ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ مِّنَ الخَوْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَنْفُسِ وَالثَّمَرَاتِ وَبَشِّرِ الصّابِرِينَ * الَّذِينَ إذا أصابَتْهُمْ مُصِيْبَةٌ قالُوا إنّا لِلّهِ وَإنّا إلَيهِ راجِعُونَ).²

“We will surely test you with a measure of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth, lives, and crops; and give good news to the patient – those who, when an affliction visits them, say, ‘Indeed we belong to Allah, and to Him do we indeed return.”³
