"Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH"

Regarding prayers when seeing someone afflicted with calamity, the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) has taught the recitation of prayers in his saying. This hadith is narrated from Abu Hurairah (RA). This is the wording of the hadith: "عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ رَأَى مُبْتَلًى فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي عَافَانِي مِمَّا ابْتُلِيَكَ بِهِ وَفَضَّلَنِي عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِمَّنْ خَلَقَ تَفْضِيلًا لِمَ يُصِبْهُ ذَلِكَ الْبَلَاءَ"

               

Translation: "Meaning: Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, 'Whoever sees a person afflicted with a calamity and says, "Alhamdulillahilladzi 'aafaanii mimmabtalaaka bihi wafadhdholanii ala katsiirim mimman kholaqo tafdhiila" (All praise is due to Allah who has saved me from the calamity He has afflicted you with and has favored me over many of those He has created), then he (the person who recites this) will not be afflicted with that calamity.' (Narrated by Tirmidhi)"

Reading Prayer when Seeing Someone Afflicted by Calamity

Based on the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) above, here is the prayer that can be practiced when seeing someone affected by calamity: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي عَافَانِي مِمَّا ابْتَلاكَ بِهِ وَفَضَّلَنِي عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِمَّنْ خَلَقَ تَفْضِيلًا Alhamdulillahilladzi 'aafaani mimmba talaaka bihi, wa faddhalanii 'ala katsiirin mimman khalaqa tafdhilaa

               

Translation: "It means: 'All praise be to Allah who has saved me from the calamity that has befallen you, and has elevated me above most of the people He has created.' Reading this prayer is also beneficial for those who read it, as the content of the prayer is also a request to be protected from sorrowful calamities."

Attitudes that Need to be Shown when Seeing Someone Afflicted by Calamity

When seeing others affected by a disaster, there are several attitudes that we need to show, namely: 1. Empathy Show empathy and concern to the person who is experiencing the disaster by listening attentively and expressing sympathy.

               

2. Offer Support Offer moral and practical support, such as providing physical assistance, lending a shoulder to cry on, or simply offering words of positive encouragement. 3. Respect Privacy Respect the privacy of individuals going through a tragedy by not asking too many questions or intruding on their privacy if they do not wish to talk. 4. Provide Real Help If possible, offer tangible assistance such as providing food, picking up children from school, or helping with household chores.

5. Pray for them and seek help from Allah to give patience, strength, and peace to those who are experiencing a calamity. 6. Avoid Inappropriate Comments Avoid making insensitive or inappropriate comments, and avoid giving unsolicited advice unless you are sure it will help.

7. Set aside time to Listen Set aside time to listen to their stories and feelings without judging or trying to provide solutions. 8. Willing to Provide Long-Term Help Remember that the impact of a disaster may last long-term, so be prepared to provide long-term support and assistance if needed.

By praying and showing such attitudes, you can provide meaningful support and help those who are experiencing a disaster feel supported and not alone in facing their trials.
