THE WOMAN AT THE GRAVESIDE H H 32 "The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, passed by a woman who was crying at a grave-side. He said to her: 'Fear Allah and be steadfast.' She, not realizing who he was replied: 'Leave me alone; you have not suffered as I have.' Later someone told her that the one who spoke was the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him. The woman went to the house of the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, there she found a doorman and went inside and said to him: 'I did not recognize you.' He said: 'Patience is at the time of the first shock of grief.' She had been crying at the grave-side of her son." R 32 Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Anas who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
THE REWARD OF BEING PATIENT UPON A BEREAVEMENT H 33 "Allah, the Exalted says: 'I have no better reward than Paradise for My believing worshiper who is patient when I take away his loved one who is among the most cherished by him in the world.'" R 33 Bukhari with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
PATIENCE DURING ILLNESS H H 34 "Lady Ayesha asked the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, what the plague was. He replied: 'It is a punishment that Allah sends upon whom He wills; but for Muslims He has made it as a mercy. If a worshiper of Allah is afflicted by the plague and remains patiently in his town hoping to be recompensed by Allah, with the realization that only that which is determined by Allah will happen to him, he will indeed receive a recompense equal to that of a martyr." R 34 Bukhari with a chain up to the Mother of Believers, Lady Ayesha who related this.
PATIENCE IN BLINDNESS H 35 "Allah, the Mighty, the Glorified says: 'When I afflict the two beloved faculties (eyes) of a worshiper of Mine, and he remains patient with this affliction, in their place I will give him Paradise.'" R 35 Bukhari with a chain up to Anas who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said the above.
PATIENCE WHEN AFFLICTED BY A DISEASE H 36 "'Shall I show you a woman who will be among the dwellers of Paradise?' Asked ibn Abbas. 'Certainly said Ata son of Abi Rabah.' Ibn Abbas then pointed to a dark skinned lady and said: 'That lady came to the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, and said: 'Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, I suffer from epilepsy, when I have a fit my body is exposed. Please pray to Allah for me.' He replied: 'If you choose to be patient with this affliction, you will win Paradise, but if you wish, I will pray to Allah to recover you.' The woman replied: 'I shall be patient, but please pray that my body will not be exposed.' And accordingly he prayed for her." R 36 Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Ata son of Abi Rabah who related that son of Abbas told him this.

PATIENCE AND THE COURAGE OF CONVICTION H 31 "Among the people of long ago, there was a king who had a magician. He (the magician) was getting old and said to the king: 'I am old, bring me a young man to whom I can teach my magic.' So, the king sent him a young man to teach. On the young man's way to the magician he met a monk. The young man sat and listened to him and was so happy with what he heard that he would stay a while with him which made him late for his lesson, so the magician beat him. The young man complained to the monk who told him: 'When you are afraid of the magician, tell him: 'My people detained me, and when you are afraid of your people tell them the monk detained you.' This state of affairs continued until one day the young man came across a huge beast blocking the road. It blocked the road in a manner that no one could pass. The young man thought to himself: 'Now I can find out who is the superior, the magician or the monk.' So he picked up a stone and said: 'Lord, if the way of the monk is more pleasing to You than the way of the magician, cause the beast to die so that the people can pass.' Then he threw the stone at the beast and killed it and the people passed by. The young man told the monk what had happened and he said: 'Son, you have surpassed me, and I think that you have reached the stage where you might be harmed. Should this happen, do not disclose my whereabouts.' The young man began to cure people (by the permission of Allah) of blindness and leprosy and all manner of diseases. News of the miracles reached a blind courtier of the king, so he went to the young man with many gifts saying: 'All this will be yours if you can heal me.' The young man replied: 'I cannot help anyone. It is Allah who heals. If you bear witness to your belief in Allah, I will pray for you and He will heal you.' So the blind man believed in Allah and Allah cured him of his blindness. After his sight had been restored, he (the courtier) went to the king and sat with him as was his practice. The king asked: 'Who has restored your sight?' The man answered: 'My Lord.' The king asked: 'Have you a Lord other than me?' To this he replied: 'Allah is your Lord and my Lord.' Upon hearing this, the king ordered the man to be seized and tortured until he disclosed the name of the young man. The young man was brought before the king and the king said to him: 'Son, have you become so skilled in magic that you can heal the blind, lepers and other diseases?' The young man replied: 'I do not heal anyone, it is Allah who heals.' Then he too was seized and tortured until he revealed the whereabouts of the monk who was likewise summoned and ordered to recant his faith but he refused. The king sent for a saw which was placed upon the monk's head, and he was sawn in half. Then, the king's courtier was sent for and he also was ordered to recant his faith. He too refused, so he was also sawn in half. After this, the young man was brought forward and told to recant, but like the others he refused, so the king handed him over to his men and told them: 'Take him to such and such a mountain, if he still refuses to recant his faith, throw him from the top!' The king's men took him to the mountain and climbed to the top of it. There, the young man supplicated saying: 'Lord, deliver me from them in whatever way You will.' Whereupon the mountain shook and the men fell off. The young man returned to the king who asked: 'What has happened to your companions?' He (the young man) answered: 'Allah has saved me from them.' So, he was handed over to another group of men who were told to take him out in a big ship into the middle of the sea, and if he still persisted in his refusal to abandon his faith to throw him into the sea. The king's men took him and he supplicated once again saying: 'Allah, save me from these people in whatever manner You will.' Then the boat sank and they were drowned, except the young man who returned to the king. The king asked: 'What has happened to your companions?' He replied: 'Allah has saved me from them' and added, 'you will be unable to kill me unless you do as I tell you.' The king asked: 'How is that?' The young man answered: 'Gather the people together in an open area and hang me from the trunk of a palm-tree. Then, take an arrow from my quiver, place it in the middle of a bow and say: 'In the Name of Allah, the Lord of this young man,' and shoot it at me, if you do this, you will kill me.' The king did just that. The people were assembled in an open area and the young man was hanged from the trunk of a palm-tree. The king took an arrow from his quiver, placed it in the middle of the bow and said: 'In the Name of Allah, the Lord of this young man,' and fired it. The arrow struck the young man in the middle of his forehead, who raised his hand to his forehead and died. Upon seeing this the people declared: 'We believe in the Lord of this young man,' and the king was told: 'Look, that which you feared has happened, the people have believed!' The king ordered trenches to be dug either side of the road. After they had been dug a fire was lit in them and it was proclaimed that anyone who refused to abandon their faith would be thrown into the trenches, or, would be ordered to jump in. And so it continued, until it was the turn of a lady accompanied by her son. She hesitated to be thrown into the fire, but her son encouraged her saying: 'Mother, be patient, you are on the Right Path.'" R 31 Muslim with a chain up to Suhaib who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
30- وعن صهيب رضي الله عنه : أنَّ رسولَ الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ، قَالَ : "كَانَ مَلِكٌ فيمَنْ كَانَ قَبلَكمْ وَكَانَ لَهُ سَاحِرٌ فَلَمَّا كَبِرَ قَالَ للمَلِكِ : إنِّي قَدْ كَبِرْتُ فَابْعَثْ إلَيَّ غُلاماً أُعَلِّمْهُ السِّحْرَ ؛ فَبَعثَ إِلَيْهِ غُلاماً يُعَلِّمُهُ ، وَكانَ في طرِيقِهِ إِذَا سَلَكَ رَاهِبٌ ، فَقَعدَ إِلَيْه وسَمِعَ كَلامَهُ فَأعْجَبَهُ ، وَكانَ إِذَا أتَى السَّاحِرَ ، مَرَّ بالرَّاهبِ وَقَعَدَ إِلَيْه ، فَإذَا أَتَى السَّاحِرَ ضَرَبَهُ ، فَشَكَا ذلِكَ إِلَى الرَّاهِب ، فَقَالَ : إِذَا خَشيتَ السَّاحِرَ ، فَقُلْ : حَبَسَنِي أَهْلِي ، وَإذَا خَشِيتَ أهلَكَ ، فَقُلْ : حَبَسَنِي السَّاحِرُ . فَبَيْنَما هُوَ عَلَى ذلِكَ إِذْ أَتَى عَلَى دَابَّةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ قَدْ حَبَسَتِ النَّاسَ ، فَقَالَ : اليَوْمَ أعْلَمُ السَّاحرُ أفْضَلُ أم الرَّاهبُ أفْضَلُ ؟ فَأخَذَ حَجَراً، فَقَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ إنْ كَانَ أمْرُ الرَّاهِبِ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ أمْرِ السَّاحِرِ فَاقْتُلْ هذِهِ الدّابَّةَ حَتَّى يَمضِي النَّاسُ ، فَرَمَاهَا فَقَتَلَها ومَضَى النَّاسُ ، فَأتَى الرَّاهبَ فَأَخبَرَهُ . فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّاهبُ : أَيْ بُنَيَّ أَنْتَ اليَومَ أفْضَل منِّي قَدْ بَلَغَ مِنْ أَمْرِكَ مَا أَرَى ، وَإنَّكَ سَتُبْتَلَى ، فَإن ابْتُلِيتَ فَلاَ تَدُلَّ عَلَيَّ ؛ وَكانَ الغُلامُ يُبْرىءُ الأكْمَهَ وَالأَبْرصَ ، ويداوي النَّاسَ مِنْ سَائِرِ الأَدْوَاء . فَسَمِعَ جَليسٌ لِلملِكِ كَانَ قَدْ عَمِيَ ، فأتاه بَهَدَايا كَثيرَةٍ ، فَقَالَ : مَا ها هُنَا لَكَ أَجْمعُ إنْ أنتَ شَفَيتَنِي ، فَقَالَ : إنّي لا أشْفِي أحَداً إِنَّمَا يَشفِي اللهُ تَعَالَى ، فَإنْ آمَنْتَ بالله تَعَالَى دَعَوتُ اللهَ فَشفَاكَ ، فَآمَنَ بالله تَعَالَى فَشفَاهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى ، فَأَتَى المَلِكَ فَجَلسَ إِلَيْهِ كَما كَانَ يَجلِسُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ المَلِكُ : مَنْ رَدّ عَلَيْكَ بَصَرَكَ ؟ قَالَ : رَبِّي ، قَالَ : وَلَكَ رَبٌّ غَيري ؟ قَالَ : رَبِّي وَرَبُّكَ اللهُ ، فَأَخَذَهُ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُعَذِّبُهُ حَتَّى دَلَّ عَلَى الغُلامِ ، فَجيء بالغُلاَمِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ المَلِكُ : أيْ بُنَيَّ ، قَدْ بَلَغَ مِنْ سِحْرِكَ مَا تُبْرىء الأَكْمَهَ وَالأَبْرَصَ وتَفْعَلُ وتَفْعَلُ ! فَقَالَ : إنِّي لا أَشْفي أحَداً ، إِنَّمَا يَشفِي الله تَعَالَى . فَأَخَذَهُ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُعَذِّبُهُ حَتَّى دَلَّ عَلَى الرَّاهبِ ؛ فَجِيء بالرَّاهبِ فَقيلَ لَهُ : ارجِعْ عَنْ دِينكَ ، فَأَبَى ، فَدَعَا بِالمِنْشَارِ فَوُضِعَ المِنْشَارُ في مَفْرق رَأسِهِ ، فَشَقَّهُ حَتَّى وَقَعَ شِقَّاهُ ، ثُمَّ جِيءَ بِجَليسِ المَلِكِ فقيل لَهُ : ارْجِعْ عَنْ دِينِكَ ، فَأَبَى ، فَوضِعَ المِنْشَارُ في مَفْرِق رَأسِهِ ، فَشَقَّهُ بِهِ حَتَّى وَقَعَ شِقَّاهُ ، ثُمَّ جِيءَ بالغُلاَمِ فقيلَ لَهُ : ارْجِعْ عَنْ دِينكَ ، فَأَبَى ، فَدَفَعَهُ إِلَى نَفَرٍ مِنْ أصْحَابهِ ، فَقَالَ : اذْهَبُوا بِهِ إِلَى جَبَلِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَاصْعَدُوا بِهِ الجَبَل ، فَإِذَا بَلَغْتُمْ ذِرْوَتَهُ فَإِنْ رَجَعَ عَنْ دِينِهِ وَإلاَّ فَاطْرَحُوهُ . فَذَهَبُوا بِهِ فَصَعِدُوا بِهِ الجَبَلَ ، فَقَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ أكْفنيهمْ بِمَا شِئْتَ ، فَرَجَفَ بهِمُ الجَبلُ فَسَقَطُوا ، وَجاءَ يَمشي إِلَى المَلِكِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ المَلِكُ : مَا فَعَلَ أصْحَابُكَ ؟ فَقَالَ : كَفَانِيهمُ الله تَعَالَى ، فَدَفَعَهُ إِلَى نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ : اذْهَبُوا بِهِ فاحْمِلُوهُ في قُرْقُورٍ وتَوَسَّطُوا بِهِ البَحْرَ ، فَإنْ رَجعَ عَنْ دِينِهِ وإِلاَّ فَاقْذِفُوهُ . فَذَهَبُوا بِهِ ، فَقَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ أكْفِنيهمْ بمَا شِئْتَ ، فانْكَفَأَتْ بِهمُ السَّفينةُ فَغَرِقُوا ، وَجَاء يَمْشي إِلَى المَلِكِ . فَقَالَ لَهُ المَلِكُ : مَا فعلَ أصْحَابُكَ ؟ فَقَالَ : كَفَانيهمُ الله تَعَالَى . فَقَالَ لِلمَلِكِ : إنَّكَ لَسْتَ بقَاتلي حَتَّى تَفْعَلَ مَا آمُرُكَ بِهِ . قَالَ : مَا هُوَ ؟ قَالَ : تَجْمَعُ النَّاسَ في صَعيدٍ وَاحدٍ وتَصْلُبُني عَلَى جِذْعٍ ، ثُمَّ خُذْ سَهْماً مِنْ كِنَانَتي ، ثُمَّ ضَعِ السَّهْمَ في كَبدِ القَوْسِ ثُمَّ قُلْ : بسْم الله ربِّ الغُلاَمِ ، ثُمَّ ارْمِني، فَإنَّكَ إِذَا فَعَلْتَ ذلِكَ قَتَلتَني، فَجَمَعَ النَّاسَ في صَعيد واحدٍ ، وَصَلَبَهُ عَلَى جِذْعٍ ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ سَهْماً مِنْ كِنَانَتِهِ ، ثُمَّ وَضَعَ السَّهْمَ في كَبِدِ القَوْسِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : بِسمِ اللهِ ربِّ الغُلامِ ، ثُمَّ رَمَاهُ فَوقَعَ في صُدْغِهِ ، فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ في صُدْغِهِ فَمَاتَ ، فَقَالَ النَّاسُ : آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الغُلامِ ، فَأُتِيَ المَلِكُ فقيلَ لَهُ : أَرَأَيْتَ مَا كُنْتَ تَحْذَرُ قَدْ والله نَزَلَ بكَ حَذَرُكَ . قَدْ آمَنَ النَّاسُ . فَأَمَرَ بِالأُخْدُودِ بأفْواهِ السِّكَكِ فَخُدَّتْ وأُضْرِمَ فيهَا النِّيرانُ وَقَالَ : مَنْ لَمْ يَرْجعْ عَنْ دِينهِ فَأقْحموهُ فيهَا ، أَوْ قيلَ لَهُ: اقتَحِمْ فَفَعَلُوا حَتَّى جَاءت امْرَأةٌ وَمَعَهَا صَبيٌّ لَهَا ، فَتَقَاعَسَتْ أنْ تَقَعَ فيهَا، فَقَالَ لَهَا الغُلامُ : يَا أُمهْ اصْبِري فَإِنَّكِ عَلَى الحَقِّ !" رواه مسلم .
