What to say if something happens to please you or to displease you
Narration
When something pleased the Prophet, he would say:
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا أَتَاهُ الْأَمْرُ يَسُرُّهُ قَالَ:
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي بِنِعْمَتِهِ تَتِمُّ الصَّالِحَاتُ
Al-ḥamdu li-llāhi alladhī bi-niʿmatihi tatimmu aṣ-ṣāliḥāt
All praise is for Allah, by whose grace good things are brought to completion.
