The answer

What is appropriate during anger is to seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan, and during a calamity, to say, "Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return." And seeking forgiveness is legislated for bringing blessings and warding off misfortunes, and it is a means for attaining mercy and provisions. It is legislated to say it during distress and anguish, to ask for relief and the removal of worry, while contemplating its meaning.
