DUA WHEN AFFLICTED WITH A CALAMITY, MISFORTUNE, SUFFERING AND ASKING ALLAH FOR BETTER THAN WHAT WAS LOST
Umm Salamah (رضي الله عنها) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying, "When a person suffers from a calamity and utters:
إنَّا للـهِ وإنَّا إلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ، اللَّهُمَّ أجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيْبَتي، وأخْلِفْ لِي خَيْراً مِنْهَا
Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un. Allahumma-jurni fi musibati, wa akhlif li khairan minha
(We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return. O Allah! Compensate me in my affliction, recompense my loss and give me something better in exchange for it)
then Allah surely compensates him with reward and better substitute.”
Also narrated with the following words in Tirmidhi: “When one of you is afflicted with a calamity, he should say:
إنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ اللَّهُمَّ عِنْدَكَ أَحْتَسِبُ مُصِيبَتِي فَآجِرْنِي فِيهَا وَأَبْدِلْ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا
Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilaihi Raji'un, Allahumma Indaka Ahtasibu Musibati Fa'jirni Fiha Wa Abdil li Khairan Minha
(Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return. O Allah, I seek reward with You for my affliction, so reward me for it, and replace it for me with something better)
_
Al-Muṭṭalib reported that Umm Salamah narrated: On an occasion Abū Salamah came back after he was with Allāh’s Messenger (ﷺ) and said, “I heard Allāh’s Messenger recite a statement that made me delighted.”
He said, “No Muslim is struck with an affliction and then says istirja’ (saying: “Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajiʿūn” [from Allāh we come and to Him we will return]) when the affliction strikes, and then he says, ‘O Allāh! reward me for my loss and give me what is better than it’, except that Allāh will do that for him.”
Umm Salamah said: So I memorized these words. When Abū Salamah died I said istirja’ and said: “O Allāh, compensate me for my loss and give me what is better than it.”
I then thought about it and said, “Who is better than Abū Salamah?”
When my ʿiddah finished, Allāh’s Messenger (ﷺ) asked for permission to see me while I was dyeing a skin that I had. I washed my hands, gave him permission to enter and handed him a pillow, and he sat on it. He then asked me for marriage and when he finished his speech.
I said, “O Messenger of Allāh! It is not that I do not want you, but I am very jealous and I fear that you might experience some wrong mannerism from me for which Allāh would punish me. And I am old and have ʿiyāl (children).”
He (ﷺ) then said, “As for the jealousy that you mentioned, Allāh the Exalted will remove it from you. As for being old as you mentioned, I have suffered what you have suffered. And as for what what you mentioned of having children, then verily your children are my children.”
She said, “I have submitted to Allāh’s Messenger.”
Allāh’s Messenger married her.
And Umm Salamah said later, “Allāh compensated me for Abū Salamah with someone better than him: the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ).”

Im feeling a bit confused. Some are pronouncing it as "Allahumma AJURNI", some are saying it as "Allahumma UJURNI", and some are ""Allahumma JURNI"....... Is one to assume all three are correct? Theres so few who say the second half of the dua in their lecture/clip. Those who do have this variation.

Question What is the correct pronunciation for the masnun du’a to be recited when befallen by a calamity? Allahumma Ajirni fi musibati wakhlif li khayran min ha Answer This du’a is reported in Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 2123 The commentators have stated that it could be recited in a few ways, viz. 1. اللهم آجِرني في مصيبتي وأَخْلِفْ لي خيرا منها Allahumma aajirni fi musibati wa akhlif li khayram min ha (with a madd on the alif -after Allahumma & a kasrah on the jim of aajirni) 2. اللهم اْجِرني في مصيبتي وأَخْلِفْ لي خيرا منها Allahumma-jirni fi musibati wa akhlif li khayram min ha (with a sukun on the alif -after Allahumma, & a kasrah on the jim) 3. اللهم اْجُرني في مصيبتي وأَخْلِفْ لي خيرا منها Allahumma-jurni fi musibati wa akhlif li khayran min ha (with a sukun on the alif-after Allahumma, and a dammah on the jim) In all of the above, the word is ‘wa akhlif li’, not ‘wakhlif li’.
