The answer

There is no legal basis for the saying that whoever hears of someone's misfortune and forgets to seek God's grace will be afflicted with a similar misfortune. Rather, it has been mentioned in some hadiths that gloating over someone's misfortune can be a cause for the gloater to be afflicted.
