[9] Patience of Shias is admirable...
[9] Patience of Shias is admirable: وَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: نَحْنُ صُبَّرٌ وَ شِيعَتُنَا أَصْبَرُ مِنَّا لِأَنَّا صَبَرْنَا بِعِلْمٍ وَ صَبَرُوا بِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ.
And it is narrated to me by my father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Jameel, ‘From Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘We -asws are patient and our -asws Shias are more patient than we -asws are, because we -asws are patient with knowledge, and they are being patient with what they are not knowing’’. [10] وَ قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع نَحْنُ صُبَّرٌ وَ شِيعَتُنَا أَصْبَرُ مِنَّا وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّا صَبَرْنَا عَلَى مَا نَعْلَمُ وَ صَبَرُوا هُمْ عَلَى مَا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ.
And Al-Sadiq -asws said: ‘We -asws are patient and our -asws Shias are more patient than we -asws are, and that is because we -asws are patient upon what we -asws know, and they are patient upon what they are not knowing’’. [11] عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَجَباً لِلْمُؤْمِنِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَا يَقْضِي لَهُ قَضَاءً إِلَّا كَانَ لَهُ خَيْراً إِنِ ابْتُلِيَ صَبَرَ وَ إِنْ أُعْطِيَ شَكَرَ.
From Abu Ja’far -asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘Strange of the Momin that Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic does not Fulfil any request for him except it was better for him if he were to be Tried, he is patient and that he should give the thanks’’.
