دعاء التعزية
إِنَّ للَّهِ مَا أَخَذَ، وَلَهُ مَا أَعْطَى، وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ عِنْدَهُ بِأَجَلٍ مُسَمَّى... فَلْتَصْبِرْ وَلْتَحْتَسِبْ. وَإِنْ قَالَ: أَعْظَمَ اللَّهُ أَجْرَكَ، وَأَحْسَنَ عَزَاءَكَ، وَغَفَرَ لِمَيِّتِكَ فَحَسَنٌ.
To Allah belongs what He took and to Him belongs what He gave, and everything with Him has an appointed term… Be patient and hope for Allah’s reward. One may also say: May Allah increase your reward, grant you a beautiful consolation and forgive your deceased.
Fortress of the Muslim (Hisn al-Muslim), Sa‘id ibn ‘Ali al-Qahtani. MushafPlus translation made from the Arabic, not reviewed by a specialist.
