Three phrases that help one cope in times of calamities/difficulties, especially when the Prophet ๏ทบ said: โThe real patience is at the first stroke of a calamity.โ [Saheehain]
๐1) Remembering that what had befallen you was never going to miss you and what had missed you was never going to befall you:
๐ดA) The Prophet ๏ทบ said: โโฆWhen you are afflicted in any way, do not say: If I had taken this or that step, it would have resulted into such and such.โ But only say: (ููุฏููุฑู ุงูููููู ููู ูุง ุดูุงุกู ููุนููู) Allaah has decreed and whatever He Wills, He does.โ Verily, the word โifโ opens the gates of satanic thoughts.โ [Saheeh Muslim]
๐ดB) The Prophet ๏ทบ said: โโฆAnd know that what has passed you by [and you have failed to attain] was not going to befall you, and what has befallen you was not going to pass you by. And know that victory comes with patience, relief with affliction, and hardship with ease.โ [Mustadrak of al-Haakim (6304)]

๐2) Remembering that to Allaah belongs everything:
{โฆbut give good tidings to the patient ones, who, when disaster strikes them, say, "Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return.} [Surah al-Baqarah (2): 155-156]
๐ดB) When the Prophet ๏ทบ came to know that the son of his daughter was dying, he ๏ทบ sent a messenger towards her telling him to convey his greetings (the Salaam) to her and to say:
โWhatever Allaah takes is for Him and whatever He gives, is for Him, and everything with Him has a limited fixed term (in this world) and so be patient and hope for Allaahโs reward.โ [Saheehain]
๐ข๐ข๐ข
๐3 ) Making a lot of Duaa when having anxiety or feeling sorrow:
๐ดA) Allaah's Messenger ๏ทบ said: โIf any Muslim who suffers some calamity says that which Allaah has commanded him:
โWe belong to Allaah and to Him shall we return}, O Allaah, reward me for my affliction and give me something better in exchange for itโ, Allaah will give him something better than it in exchange.โ [Saheeh Muslim]
