PATIENCE

93

We went to Anas son of Malik and complained to him of the inconvenience caused to us by the Hajjaj (an Umayyad governor). He counseled us to be patient and said: 'Each period will be followed by one that is worse, till you meet your Lord.' I (Zubair) heard this from your Prophet, praise and peace be upon him.

Bukhari - Zubair son of Adiyy who related this.
