Upon receiving pleasing or displeasing news

When He (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) used to receive pleasant news, He (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) would say:

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ بِنِعْمَتِهِ تَتِمُّ الصَّالِحَاتُ

Praise is to Allah Who by His blessings all good things are perfected.

Alhamdu lillaahil-lathee bini'matihi tatimmus-saalihaat.

And if something happened that displeased him, he used to say:

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ

Praise is to Allah in all circumstances.

Alhamdu lillaahi 'alaa kulli haal.
