Summary
The Prophet SAW taught a supplication to be said on seeing someone who is tested, narrated by al-Tirmizi and graded hasan, so it may be practised. According to Imam al-Tibi, it suits those tested with sin or wrongdoing, but is not suitable for those tested with illness or physical impairment. Imam al-Nawawi stated that it is recommended to say it quietly so as not to hurt the afflicted person, except for a sinner, where it may be said aloud if no harm results. Muslims are also urged to remain grateful for Allah's blessings.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Adapun sekiranya seseorang itu diuji dengan kesakitan atau kekurangan fizikal maka tidak sesuai diucapkan ucapan ini.
