قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ الصَّبْرُ صَبْرَانِ صَبْرٌ عِنْدَ الْمُصِيبَةِ حَسَنٌ جَمِيلٌ وَ أَحْسَنُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الصَّبْرُ عِنْدَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْكَ وَ الذِّكْرُ ذِكْرَانِ ذِكْرُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عِنْدَ الْمُصِيبَةِ وَ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ذِكْرُ اللَّهِ عِنْدَ مَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكَ فَيَكُونُ حَاجِزاً .
Translation
Muhamad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Sinan, from Abu Al Jaroud, from Al Asbagh who said, ‘Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The patience is of two (types of) patience – patience during the difficulties is good, beautiful; but (even) better than that is the patience during (abstaining from) what Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic has Prohibited upon you. And the Remembrance is of two (types) of Remembrances – The mentioning of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic during the difficulties; but (even) superior than that is the mentioning of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> during what Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Prohibited upon you. Thus it (the patience) serves as a barrier’.
