Sahih Muslim 2437 (Book 44, Hadith 112) #13363
Gratitude to Allah for Better Spouse

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) being reminded of his first wife Khadija and feeling overwhelmed with emotions. He then expresses his gratitude to Allah for giving him a better wife in her stead.

A'isha reported that Hala b. Khuwailid (sister of Khadija) sought permission from Allah's Messenger to see him and he was reminded of Khadija's (manner of) asking leave to enter and (was overwhelmed) with emotions thereby and said: O Allah, it is Hala, daughter of Khuwailid, and I felt jealous and said: Why do you remember one of those old women of the Quraish with gums red and who is long dead-while Allah has given you a better one in her stead?
حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتِ اسْتَأْذَنَتْ هَالَةُ بِنْتُ خُوَيْلِدٍ أُخْتُ خَدِيجَةَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَعَرَفَ اسْتِئْذَانَ خَدِيجَةَ فَارْتَاحَ لِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ هَالَةُ بِنْتُ خُوَيْلِدٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَغِرْتُ فَقُلْتُ وَمَا تَذْكُرُ مِنْ عَجُوزٍ مِنْ عَجَائِزِ قُرَيْشٍ حَمْرَاءِ الشِّدْقَيْنِ هَلَكَتْ فِي الدَّهْرِ فَأَبْدَلَكَ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا مِنْهَا

EXPLANATIONS:

The Prophet Muhammad was reminded of his first wife Khadija and felt overwhelmed with emotions, yet he still expressed his gratitude to Allah for giving him a better one in her stead.

We should also remember that whatever blessings we have been given are from Him alone, so it is important to show our appreciation by thanking Him often.
