Imam ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib, Alayhis Salam, said:
❝Patience [al-Sabr] to faith [al-Iman] is like the head to the rest of the body: if the head is cut off, the body will rot.❞
Then he raised his voice and said: ❝There is no true faith for the one who has no patience!❞
وقال علي بن أبي طالب رضي الله عنه: ألا إنَّ الصبر من الإيمان بمنزلة الرأس من الجسد، فإذا قطع الرأس باد الجسد، ثم رفع صوته فقال: ألا إنه لا إيمان لمن لا صبر له
