“إن في القلب شعث : لا يلمه إلا الإقبال على الله، وعليه وحشة: لا يزيلها إلا الأنس به في خلوته، وفيه حزن : لا يذهبه إلا السرور بمعرفته وصدق معاملته، وفيه قلق: لا يسكنه إلا الاجتماع عليه والفرار منه إليه، وفيه نيران حسرات : لا يطفئها إلا الرضا بأمره ونهيه وقضائه ومعانقة الصبر على ذلك إلى وقت لقائه ، وفيه طلب شديد: لا يقف دون أن يكون هو وحده المطلوب ، وفيه فاقة: لا يسدها الا محبته ودوام ذكره والاخلاص له، ولو أعطى الدنيا وما فيها لم تسد تلك الفاقة أبدا!!”

“If a rank is decided by Allah for a servant which he could not attain by his deeds, Allah afflicts him with distress in his body or children or wealth, and makes him bear it in patience until he achieves that rank which was written for him.”

“In the case of performing the regular prayers this is due to laziness and love of comfort in its nature, particularly if this attitude is coupled with hardness of the heart, its blockage by sins, inclination to follow desires and mixing with heedless people.

If ever he does perform them he will be doing it reluctantly, with his mind elsewhere, eager to finish it”

“وأما الاصطبار: فهو أبلغ من التصبر فإنه افتعال للصبر بمنزلة الاكتساب فالتصبر مبدأ الاصطبار كما أن التكسب مقدمة الاكتساب ، فلا يزال التصبر يتكرر حتى يصير اصطباراً .
وأما المصابرة فهى مقاومة الخصم في ميدان الصبر فانها مفاعلة تستدعي وقوعها بين اثنين كالمشاتمة والمضاربة قال الله تعالى : [ يا أيها الذين آمنوا اصبروا وصابروا ورابطوا واتقوا الله لعلكم تفلحون ] فأمرهم بالصبر وهو حال الصابر في نفسه والمصابرة وهى حاله في الصبر مع خصمه ، والمرابطة وهى الثبات واللزوم والاقامة على الصبر والمصابرة .
فقد يصبر العبد ولا يصابر وقد يصابر ولا يرابط وقد يصبر ويصابر ويرابط من غير تعبد بالتقوى .
فأخبر سبحانه أن ملاك ذلك كله التقوى ، وأن الفلاح موقوف عليها فقال :[ واتقوا الله لعلكم تفلحون] فالمرابطة كما أنها لزوم الثغر الذى يخاف هجوم العدو منه في الظاهر فهى لزوم ثغر القلب لئلا يدخل منه الهوى والشيطان فيزيله عن مملكته .”

“Čovjek se usavršava tako što razvija
dvije snage: snagu znanja i snagu djelovanja, snagu imana i dobrih djela. Kao što je čovjek dužan usavršavati sebe, tako je dužan usavršavati druge, a to se postiže savjetovanjem dobra savjetovanjem strpljivosti. A oslonac, osnova i drška toga jeste strpljivost.”

“A što ne koristi radi Allaha neminovno će koristiti radi svojih nahođenja i hirova. Ako se znanje ne koristi u korisne svrhe, bit će iskorišteno u hirove i strasti. Ako se djela ne posvete Allahu, onda će ona biti pretvaranje licemjerje. Ako se imetak ne troši u pokornosti Allahu, trošit će se u pokornosti šejtanu i prohtjevima. Ugled koji se ne koristi radi Allaha, bit će upotrijebljen radi nahođenja i strasti. Snaga koja se ne koristi u naređenim stvarima bit će trošena na zabranjeno. Ko
se navikne da djeluje radi Allaha, ništa mu neće biti teže nego da svoja djela posvećuje nekom drugom. Ko se navikne da udovoljava svojim prohtjevima i nahođenjima, neće mu ništa teže biti od ihlasa ì djelovanja radi Allaha.”

― Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, Patience and Gratitude

“Crying out and complaining to Allâh does not mean that a person has no patience.

In the Qur’ân, we find Ya‘qûb (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ) saying: “My course is comely patience (sabrun jamîl)” (Yûsuf 12:83), but his love and longing for his lost son Yûsuf made him say: “How great is my grief for Yûsuf” (Yûsuf 12:83).

Sabrun jamîl refers to patience with no complaint to other people. Complaining to Allâh does not cancel out patience, as Ya‘qûb said: “I only complain of my distraction and anguish to Allâh” (Yûsuf 12:86).”
― Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, Patience and Gratitude

“قال سلمان الفارسي رضي الله عنه : أن رجلا بُسط له من الدنيا فانتُزع ما في يديه ، فجعل يحمد الله ويثني عليه
وبُسط لآخر من الدنيا فقال لصاحب البارية : أرأيتك أنت على ما تحمد الله ؟
قال : أحمده على ما لو أعطيت به ما أعطى الخلق لم أعطهم إياه
قال : وما ذلك ؟
قال : أرأيتك بصرك ، أرأيتك لسانك ، أرأيتك يديك ، أرأيتك رجليك .

وجاء رجل إلى يونس بن عبيد يشكو ضيق حاله
فقال له يونس : أيسرك ببصرك هذه مائة ألف درهم؟ قال : لا
قال : فبيديك مائة ألف؟ قال : لا
قال : فبرجليك مائة ألف ؟ قال : لا
فقال يونس : أرى عندك مئين الألوف وأنت تشكو الحاجة !”
