Ameer al-Momineen (a.s) said: “There are two forms of patience: patience with what you dislike, and patience with what you like. The relationship between patience and faith is similar to that of the head and the body - that is a body is no good without a head, and faith is no good without patience.”
قال أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام): الصبر صبران: صبر على ما تكره، وصبر على ما تحب. والصبر من الإيمان كالرأس من الجسد، ولا خير في جسد لا رأس معه، ولا في إيمان لا صبر معه.
