Reference : Hisn al-Muslim 162

"إن لله ما أخذ
وله ما أعطى .
وكل شيء عنده بأجل مُسمى ...
فلتصبر ولتحتسب "

وإن قال :
"أعظم الله أجرك ،
وأحسن عزاءك 
وغفر لميتك" 
فحسن
Inna lillāhi mā akhadh, 
wa lahu mā a`tā, 
wa kullu shay'in `indahu bi ajalin musammā . . . 
faltaṣbir wa ‘l-taḥtasib .

[Also good to say:] 
A`ẓamallāhu ajrak, 
wa 'aḥsana `azā'ak,
wa ghafara limayyitik.


Surely, Allah takes what is His, 
and what He gives is His, 
and to all things He has appointed a time... 
so have patience and be rewarded.1

May Allah magnify your reward, 
and make perfect your bereavement, 
and forgive your departed.2
