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

  1. كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا أَتَاهُ الْأَمْرُ يَسُرُّهُ قَالَ: ((الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي بِنِعْمَتِهِ تَتِمُّ الصَّالِحَاتُ)) وَإِذَا أَتَاهُ الْأَمْرُ يَكْرَهُهُ قَالَ: ((الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ)).

    Al-hamdu lillahilladhee bini'matihi tatimmus-salihat. Al-hamdu lillahi 'ala kulli hal

    When something happened that pleased him, the Prophet used to say:((Alhamdu lillaahil-lathee bini'matihi tatimmuus-saalihaat)). Praise is to Allah Who by His blessings all good things are perfected. And if something happened that displeased him, he used to say:((Alhamdulillaahi 'alaa kulli haal)).Praise is to Allah in all circumstances.
