SOUND INSIGHT AND PATIENCE

 

SOUND INSIGHT AND PATIENCE

Al-Hasan [al-Basrī] (may Allāh have mercy upon him) said:

"It is not uncommon to find a person with sound insight but having no patience. If you find a person with sound insight as well as patience, then hold on tight unto him."*

* See Imām 'Abdullāh Ibn al-Mubārak in his al-Zuhd, p. 6, no. #14
