The Supplication That A Man Should Recite When He Looks At People Affected By Calamity

 *The Supplication That A Man Should Recite When He Looks At People Affected By Calamity*

[عن أبي هريرة:] مَن رَأى مُبْتَلًى فقال الحمدُ للهِ الذي عافاني مِمّا ابتلاك به وفَضَّلَنِي على كثيرٍ مِمَّنْ خَلَقَ تفضيلًا لم يُصِبْهُ ذلك البلاءُ

Abu Hurairah narrated that:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: *“Whoever sees an afflicted person then says: ‘All praise is due to Allah who saved me from that which He has afflicted you with, and blessed me greatly over many of those whom He has created, (Al-ḥamdulillāhi alladhī `āfānī mimmabtalāka bihī wa faḍḍalanī `alā kathīrin mimman khalaqa tafḍīla)’ he shall not be struck by that affliction.”*

[عبدالله بن عمر] من رأى مبتلًى فقال: “؛ الحمدُ للهِ الذي عافاني مما ابتلاكَ به، وفضَّلني على كثيرٍ ممن خلق تفضيلًا “؛، لم يُصِبْهُ ذلك البلاءُ

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

*“Whoever sees a person suffering a calamity, and says: Al-hamdu Lillahil-ladhi ‘afani mim-mabtalaka bihi, wa faddalani ‘ala kathirin mimman khalaqa tafdila (Praise is to Allah Who has kept me safe from that which has afflicted you and preferred me over many of those whom He has created), will be kept safe from that calamity, no matter what it is.’”*
