What to say if you see someone afflicted by misfortune

The dua in its Arabic wording from Hisn al-Muslim, with its English meaning.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Bismillahir-rahmanir-raheem

Each dua: the Arabic, then a transliteration to help you say it aloud, then its meaning.

  1. ((الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي عَافَانِي مِمَّا ابْتَلاَكَ بِهِ، وَفَضَّلَنِي عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِمَّنْ خَلَقَ تَفْضِيلاً)).

    Al-hamdu lillahilladhee 'afanee mimmabtalaka bih, wafaddalanee 'ala katheerin mimman khalaqa tafdeela.

    (All praise is for Allah Who saved me from that which He tested you with and Who most certainly favoured me over much of His creation.)
