When he (SAWS) used to receive pleasant news, he (SAWS) would say:

الْحَمْـدُ للهِ الَّذي بِنِـعْمَتِهِ تَتِـمُّ الصّـالِحات .

Alhamdu lillahil-lathee biniAAmatihi tatimmus-salihat.

‘All Praise is for Allah by whose favour good works are accomplished.’

…and upon receiving displeasing news, he (SAWS) would say:

الْحَمْـدُ للهِ على كُـلِّ حال.

Alhamdu lillahi AAala kulli hal.

‘All Praise is for Allah in all circumstances.’
