agree  Muhammad Atallah: This is a formula of condolence. The literal translation would also be "May God make great your recompense!" But I think it could also be instrumentally translated to "I'm sorry to hear that!" or "My deepest sympathy!"

  -> Thank you for the excellent explanation. To be honest with you, I always wondered about the intention of saying that in the occasion of death. It seems to be combined with the idea of compensating for the loss and pain.
agree  Awad Balaish: May Allah greatly reward you.

  -> Thank you
agree  Abdallah Ali: الموت مصيبة ومن يصبر على موت الأحباء ويحتسب له أجر. لذا يواسي الناس بعضهم ويدعون بتعظيم أجر الصبر والاحتساب.
