‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

"We have found that the best life is that which is accompanied by patience."

 

He also said:

"The best life that we have experienced, is that of patience, and if patience were a man, he would be most generous."

 

‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

"Truly, patience is to faith as the head is to the body. lf the head is severed, the body becomes wasted."

 

Then, he raised his voice and said:

"Verily, there is no faith in the man who has no patience."

 

He also said:

"Patience is a mount that does not stumble or trip."

 

Al-Hasan said:

"Patience is a treasure from the treasures of goodness, a treasure that Allah does not give away except to a slave (of His) whom He regards as being worthy."

 

‘Umar ibn ‘Abdul آ°Aziz said:

"Whenever Allah gives a blessing to one of His slaves and then removes it from him and supplants it with patience, then that which replaces is invariably better than that which is being replaced."

 

Sulayman ibn al-Qaasim said:

"The reward for every deed other than patience is known."

 

Allah, the Exalted, said:

Only those who are patient shall receive their rewards in fall, without reckoning) (Qur’an 39: 10)
