Shaykh Ibn Uthaymin Sharh Usool Thalatha:
As-Sabr (Patient perseverance)
Is to confine oneself to obedience to Allaah; and to withhold oneself from disobedience to Allaah, and from being angry with what Allaah has decreed. So one should withhold ones soul from annoyance,
As-Sabr (Patient perseverance)
Is to confine oneself to obedience to Allaah; and to withhold oneself from disobedience to Allaah, and from being angry with what Allaah has decreed. So one should withhold ones soul from annoyance,
resentment and exasperation. Rather one should always be eager and energetic in calling to Allaah’s Religion, even if faced with ill-treatment. This is because caus-
ing harm to those who call to good is a trait found in mankind, except for those whom Allaah has guided.

Allaah, the Most High, said to His Prophet:
“Indeed messengers before you, O Muhammad, were denied and
rejected but they patiently bore the denial, rejection and harm of
their people until our aid came to them.”
[Soorah al-An’aam (6):34]
The more severe the harm becomes
“Indeed messengers before you, O Muhammad, were denied and
rejected but they patiently bore the denial, rejection and harm of
their people until our aid came to them.”
[Soorah al-An’aam (6):34]
The more severe the harm becomes
the nearer is Allaah’s aid. It is not the case that Allaah’s aid is only that a person is aided in his lifetime and sees that his da ’wah has produced positive results, rather this aid may come after his death such that
Allaah causes the peoples hearts to accept what he called
Allaah causes the peoples hearts to accept what he called
to, so that they follow it and adhere to it.
This is also counted as being help and a grant of victory from Allaah, even though it is after his death. So the caller should patiently persevere in his call and continue upon it; patiently persevering upon the Religion of Allaah,
This is also counted as being help and a grant of victory from Allaah, even though it is after his death. So the caller should patiently persevere in his call and continue upon it; patiently persevering upon the Religion of Allaah,
the Mighty and Majestic, which he calls to; having patience in facing whatever
harm he encounters. Indeed the messengers faced harm and hurt from the words and actions of the people.
Allaah, the Most High, says,
“Likewise no messenger came to the previous people except that
harm he encounters. Indeed the messengers faced harm and hurt from the words and actions of the people.
Allaah, the Most High, says,
“Likewise no messenger came to the previous people except that
they said: ‘He is a sorcerer, a madman.’”
[Soorah adh-Dhaariyaat (51 ):52]
"And for each of the prophets We have made an enemy from the
idol worshippers.”
[Soorah al-Furqaan (25):31 ]
But the caller should face this with patient perseverance. See the saying of Allaah, the
[Soorah adh-Dhaariyaat (51 ):52]
"And for each of the prophets We have made an enemy from the

[Soorah al-Furqaan (25):31 ]
But the caller should face this with patient perseverance. See the saying of Allaah, the
Mighty and Majestic, to His Messenger,
“Indeed it is We who have sent down this Qur’aan to you, O
Muhammad, gradually.”
[Soorah al-Insaan (76):23]
It might be expected for this Aayah to be followed by an order to give thanks for the favours of your Lord, but rather Allaah,
“Indeed it is We who have sent down this Qur’aan to you, O
Muhammad, gradually.”
[Soorah al-Insaan (76):23]
It might be expected for this Aayah to be followed by an order to give thanks for the favours of your Lord, but rather Allaah,
the Mighty and Majestic, said after it,
“And be patient with what your Lord has decreed.”
[Soorah al-Insaan (76):24]
This contains an indication that everyone who stands with this Qur’aan must certainly face that which requires him to have patience and perseverance. Also
“And be patient with what your Lord has decreed.”
[Soorah al-Insaan (76):24]
This contains an indication that everyone who stands with this Qur’aan must certainly face that which requires him to have patience and perseverance. Also
consider the example of the Prophet when his people struck him and caused
blood to flow from him. As he was wiping away the blood from his face he was saying: “O Allaah, forgive my people for they do not know” [Reported by al-Bukhaaree (Eng. transl. 4/454/no.683).

The caller should have patience and persevere hoping for Allaah’s reward. Patience (sabr) is of three kinds:
(i) Patience upon obedience to Allaah;
(ii) Patience upon avoiding that which Allaah has forbidden;
(iii) Patience with regard to the decrees of Allaah which He puts
(i) Patience upon obedience to Allaah;
(ii) Patience upon avoiding that which Allaah has forbidden;
(iii) Patience with regard to the decrees of Allaah which He puts
into effect; both those which the servants have no control over at all, and also those pertaining to the harm and attacks which Allaah brings about by the hands of some of the people.
