The Chapter of Condolences and Grief During Calamities, Visiting Graves, Lamentation and Mourning Gatherings
وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ: «أَرْبَعٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ كَانَ فِي نُورِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ اَلْأَعْظَمِ مَنْ كَانَ عِصْمَةُ أَمْرِهِ شَهَادَةَ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ وَ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ وَ مَنْ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُ مُصِيبَةٌ قَالَ «إِنّٰا لِلّٰهِ وَ إِنّٰا إِلَيْهِ رٰاجِعُونَ» وَ مَنْ إِذَا أَصَابَ خَيْراً قَالَ «اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ اَلْعٰالَمِينَ» وَ مَنْ إِذَا أَصَابَ خَطِيئَةً قَالَ «أَسْتَغْفِرُ اَللَّهَ وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ.
The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said: "There are four qualities; whoever possesses them will be in the greatest light of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted and Glorious:" One whose protection is in the testimony that there is no god but Allah سبحانه وتعالى and that I am the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, And who, when afflicted with a calamity, says: Innā lillāhi wa innā ilayhi rāji‘ūn "Indeed, we belong to Allah سبحانه وتعالى and to Him we will return" And who, when blessed with goodness, says: Al-ḥamdu lillāhi Rabbi al-‘ālamīn "All praise is due to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Lord عز وجل of the worlds" And one who, when committing a sin, says: Astaghfiru Allāha wa atūbu ilayh "I seek forgiveness from Allah سبحانه وتعالى and repent to Him."
