Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “We are persevering, and our followers are even more persevering.” The man who heard this did not like it and said: “How can your followers be more persevering than you are?” He said: “We persevere in what we know its ending, but they persevere even though they do not know the ending.”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
إنا لنصبر وإن شيعتنا لأصبر منا، قال: فاستعظمت ذلك، فقلت: كيف يكون شيعتكم أصبر منكم؟ فقال: إنا لنصبر على ما نعلم وأنتم تصبرون على ما لا تعلمون.
