Publisher's Synopsis
"Allah mentions patience in the Noble Qur'an more than ninety times." This statement (of Imam Ahmad) shows in a clear fashion the great and prestigious status of Patience; also, to the servants' dire need to practice it in both performing acts of obedience and abandoning acts of disobedience; patience is also required during destined trials to avoid impatience and displeasure. The servant is in need of patience. Patience accompanies the Muslim in all of his circumstances; it is essential in performing acts of obedience, avoiding acts of disobedience, and receiving trials with what pleases Allah. So how much in need is the Muslim (of this)! Rather, he is in more severe need to adorn himself with patience in all of his circumstances!
