Consoling the bereaved: to Allah (SWT) belongs what He took
To Allah belongs what He took, and to Him belongs what He gave, and everything with Him has an appointed term... so let her be patient and hope for Allah's reward.
The Prophet ﷺ sent this to his daughter when her child was dying. Speaking to the bereaved directly, say fasbir wahtasib to a man or fasbiri wahtasibi to a woman. The wording A'dhama-llahu ajrak in Hisn al-Muslim is from scholars, not a hadith, and is left out. Follow any timing or count stated in the cited narration; otherwise it may be used as a general personal du'a.
The Arabic and meaning are paired with Sahih al-Bukhari 1284, Sahih Muslim 923. No special promise or count is added without a cited basis.
Inna lillahi ma akhadh, wa lahu ma a'ta, wa kullu shay'in 'indahu bi-ajalin musamma... fal-tasbir wal-tahtasib
