Summary
When afflicted by a calamity, it is recommended to recite the supplication narrated from Umm Salamah, namely inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un followed by a request for reward for the calamity and a better replacement. The hadith is narrated by Abu Daud, who remained silent about it, which he stated means it is acceptable. Following the approach of al-'Ala'ie and Ibn Hajar al-'Asqalani, this ruling leans towards the hadith being valid as evidence and may be practised.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, kami cenderung untuk menyatakan bahawa hadith doa di atas adalah boleh dijadikan hujah dan beramal dengannya sebagaimana kaedah yang dibawa oleh al-'Ala'ie dan Ibn Hajar al-'Asqalani.
