“Patience is the noose of the believer, tying him down: he may wander for a bit but always returns.

It is the pillar of his faith to which he recourses, there is no faith for the one who has no patience. If, in such a case, it does exist, it would be severely weak.

The one who has no patience is like worshiping Allah at the edge of a faltering precipice: if good comes his way he takes comfort, but if trial comes his way, the world turns inside out and he loses both it and the Hereafter.

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah

“So let a person strive to keep away his shoulders (to keep away himself) from the Fire. And there is no might nor strength for change except by Allah.

Then it should be known that knowledge is not by the large number of narrations; rather knowledge is light which is put in the heart by Allah.

And its conditions are: Ittiba` (holding on to it and acting upon it), and running way from desires and innovation (false additions to the religion).
