And he -asws said at the grave of Rasool-Allah -saww the time he -saww was buried: ‘The patience is beautiful except about you -saww , and the alarm is ugly except upon you -saww , and the calamity with you -saww is majestic, and it was little before you -saww and after you -saww ’’. [6] نَهْجُ الْبَلَاغَةِ، وَ دَعَوَاتُ الرَّاوَنْدِيِّ، قَالَ ع‏ مَنْ عَظَّمَ صِغَارَ الْمَصَائِبِ ابْتَلَاهُ اللَّهُ بِكِبَارِهَا.

(The book) ‘Nahj Al Balagah’, and ‘Dawaat’ of Al Rawandy – ‘He -asws said: ‘One who magnifies the small difficulties, Allah -azwj will Afflict him with its big ones’’. [7] 21- كَنْزُ الْكَرَاجُكِيِّ، رُوِيَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ: الصَّبْرُ سِتْرٌ مِنَ الْكُرُوبِ وَ عَوْنٌ عَلَى الْخُطُوبِ. (The book) ‘Kanz’ of Al Karajaky’ – ‘It is reported from Rasool-Allah -saww having said: ‘The patience is a veil (shield) from the sorrows and a support upon the distress’’.

[8] وَ قَالَ ص‏ الصَّبْرُ صَبْرَانِ صَبْرٌ عِنْدَ الْبَلَاءِ وَ أَفْضَلُ مِنْهُ الصَّبْرُ عِنْدَ الْمَحَارِمِ. And he -saww said: ‘The patience is two (types of) patience – patience upon the affliction, and better than it is the patience from the Prohibitions’’. [9] وَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع‏ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْإِيمَانِ الصَّبْرُ عَلَى الْمُصَابِ. And Amir Al-Momineen -asws : ‘From the treasures of Eman is the Patience upon the calamities’’.

[10] وَ قَالَ ع‏ الصَّبْرُ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الرَّأْسِ مِنَ الْجَسَدِ وَ لَا إِيمَانَ لِمَنْ لَا صَبْرَ لَهُ. And he -asws said: ‘The patience from the Eman is as the status of the head from the body, and there is no Eman for the one having no patience for him’’. [11] وَ قَالَ ع‏ اطْرَحْ عَنْكَ الْهُمُومَ بِعَزَائِمِ الصَّبْرِ وَ حُسْنِ الْيَقِينِ. And he -asws said: ‘Drop the worries away from you by the determined patience and good certainty’’.

[12] وَ قَالَ ع‏ مَنْ صَبَرَ سَاعَةً حُمِدَ سَاعَاتٍ. And he -asws said: ‘One who is patient for an hour, would be praised for hours’’. [13] وَ قَالَ ع‏ الصَّبْرُ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةِ أَوْجُهٍ صَبْرٌ عَلَى الْمَعْصِيَةِ وَ صَبْرٌ عَلَى الْمُصِيبَةِ وَ صَبْرٌ عَلَى الطَّاعَةِ. And he -asws said: ‘The patience is based upon three aspects – patience upon (from) the disobedience, and patience upon the calamity, and patience upon the obedience’’.

[14] وَ قَالَ ع‏ مَنْ جَعَلَ لَهُ الصَّبْرَ وَالِياً لَمْ يَكُنْ بِحَدَثٍ مُبَالِياً. And he -asws said: ‘One who makes the patience a guardian for him, would not care about an unfortunate incident’’.
