Hadith 25 - Bab 3 (Patience and Perseverance)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Abu Malik Al-Harith bin Asim Al-Ash'ar (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that: The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said: "Wudu' is half of Salah; the utterance of (Al-hamdu lillah - all praise belongs to Allah) fills the Scales of good actions; the utterance of (Subhan Allah wa Al-hamdu lillah) (Allah is far removed from every imperfection and all praise belongs to Allah) fills the space between the heavens and the earth, and Salat (prayer) is light; and charity is the proof of Faith; and endurance is light, and the Qur'an is a plea in your favour or against you. Every person departs; he either ransoms it or puts it into perdition".

[Muslim].

D’après Abou Malek Al Ash’arî (RA), le Messager de Dieu (saws) a dit : « La pureté rituelle (ou la propreté) représente la moitié de la foi – La louange est à Dieu, remplit la balance -u jugement dernier) – Gloire et pureté à Dieu ainsi que la louange (soubhanAllahi wal hamdoullillahi), remplit tout l’espace entre les cieux et la terre – La prière est une lumière. L’aumône est une preuve (de foi sincère) – La patience est une clarté – Le Coran est un argument pour ou contre toi : Tous les hommes prennent le matin le chemin (du marché), il en est qui vend son âme (à Dieu) et qui l’a ainsi affranchie ; et il en est qui la condamne à sa perte éternelle ( en la vendant au Diable) ». (Rapporté par Moslem) 

Hadith 26 - Bab 3 (Patience and Perseverance)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that: Certain people of the Ansar asked the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) and he gave them; then they again asked him and he gave them until all what he possessed was exhausted. Then the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said, "Whatever wealth I have, I will not withhold from you. Whosoever would be chaste and modest; Allah will keep him chaste and modest and whosoever would seek self-sufficiency, Allah will make him self-sufficient; and whosoever would be patient, Allah will give him patience, and no one is granted a gift better and more comprehensive than patience".

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Abou Sa’id Al Khoudri (DAS) rapporte ceci : « Un groupe d’Ansarites (premiers Musulmans de Médine) demandèrent assisstance matérielle au Messager de Dieu (saws) qui la leur donna. Puis ils lui en demandèrent de nouveau et la leur donna. Jusqu’à l’épuisement de tout ce qu’il avait. Une fois qu’il avait dépensé tout ce qu’il possédait, il leur dit : « Tant que je détiendrai quelque bien je n’en serai jamais avare avec vous. Mais celui qui se refuse par fierté d’âme de tendre la main aux autres, Dieu lui sauvegarde sa fierté. Celui qui n’exprime pas son besion, Dieu le met au-dessus du besoin. Celui qui s’astreint de patienter, Dieu lui en donne la force. Nul n’a reçu de don meilleur et plus abondant que celui de la patience ». (URA) 

Hadith 27 - Bab 3 (Patience and Perseverance)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Abu Yahya Suhaib bin Sinan (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that: The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "How wonderful is the case of a believer; there is good for him in everything and this applies only to a believer. If prosperity attends him, he expresses gratitude to Allah and that is good for him; and if adversity befalls him, he endures it patiently and that is better for him".

[Muslim].

Selon Souhayb Ibn Sinan (DAS), le Messager de Dieu (saws) a dit : « Ce que l’affaire du Croyant est etonnante ! Son affaire ne comporte (pour lui) que du bien, et cette faveur n’appartient qu’au Croyant : s’il est l’objet d’un événement heureux, il remercie Dieu et c’est là pour lui une bonne chose. S’il est victime d’un malheur, il l’endure avec patience et c’est là encore pour lui une bonne chose ». (rapporté par Moslem) 

Hadith 28 - Bab 3 (Patience and Perseverance)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: When the last illness of Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) made him unconscious, Fatimah (May Allah be pleased with her) exclaimed: "Ah, the distress of my dear father." He (Peace be upon him) said, "There will be no distress for your father after today". When he died she said: "My father, Allah has called you back and you have responded to His Call. O father! Garden of Firdaus is your abode. O father! We announce to Jibril your death." When he was buried, she said: "Are you satisfied now that you put earth over (the grave of) Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him)?"

[Al- Bukhari]

Anas (DAS) a dit : «Quand le Prophète (saws) se sentit bien lourd (sous l’effet de la maladie) il commença par être voilé par les vagues successives de l’agonie. (Sa fille) Fatima (DAS) dit : « Malheur à moi, comme mon père est souffrant ! » Il dit : « Ton père ne connaîtra plus de souffrance après ce jour ». Une fois mort, elle dit : « O père ! Il a répondu à l’appel de son Seigneur. O père ! Les jardins du Paradis ont sa demeure. O père ! Nous faisons part de sa mort à l’Ange Gabriel ». Quand on l’enterra, Fatima dit : « Comment avez-vous eu le cœur de jeter la terre sur le corps du Messager de Dieu (saws) ? (Rapporté par Al Boukhari) 

Hadith 29 - Bab 3 (Patience and Perseverance)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Usamah bin Zaid (May Allah be pleased with them) narrated: The daughter of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) sent for him as her child was dying, but the Prophet (Peace be upon him) returned the messenger and sent her good wishes saying, "Whatever Allah takes away or gives, belongs to Him, and everything with Him has a limited fixed term (in this world), and so she should be patient and anticipate Allah's reward." She again sent for him adjuring him for the sake of Allah to come. The Messenger of Allah, accompanied with Sa'd bin 'Ubadah, Mu'adh bin Jabal, Ubayy bin Ka'b, Zaid bin Thabit and some other men went to see her. The child was lifted up to the Messenger of Allah while his breath was disturbed in his chest. On seeing that, the eyes of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) streamed with tears. Sa'd said, "O Messenger of Allah! What is this?" He replied, "It is compassion which Allah has placed in the hearts of His slaves, Allah is Compassionate only to those among His slaves who are compassionate (to others)".

Another version says: Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "Allah shows compassion only to those among His slaves who are compassionate".

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Ousama Ibn Zeyd (DAS), le protégé et le bien-aimé du Messager de Dieu (saws), fils de son bien-aimé (DAS) a dit : «La fille du Prophète (saws) envoya quelqu’un dire à son père : « Mon fils est dans l’agonie de la mort, viens donc nous tenir compagnie ! ». Il lui envoya quelqu’un lui présenter son salut et dire : « Ce que Dieu a pris Lui appartient et c’est à Lui qu’appartient Toujours ce qu’Il a donné. Tous chez Lui est lié à un terme assigné à l’avance. Prends donc patience et espère-s’en la récompense de Dieu ! » Elle lui envoya de nouveau, l’adjurant avec insistance de venir auprès d’elle. Il se leva alors en compagnie de Sa’d Ibn ‘Oubada, de Mou’adh Ibn Jabal, de Oubay Ibn Ka’b, de Zeyd Ibn Thabet et d’autres (DAS). On leva le petit agonisant vers le Messager de Dieu (saws) qui le mit sur ces genoux alors que son âme commençait à bouger et à se troubler. Les yeux du Messager débordèrent de larmes. Sa’d lui dit : «  Qu’est-ce donc que cela, O Messager de Dieu ? » Il dit : « cela est une miséricorde que Dieu le Très Haut a placé dans le cœur de Ses esclaves

Hadith 30 - Bab 3 (Patience and Perseverance)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Suhaib (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "There lived a king before you and he had a court magician. As he (the magician) grew old, he said to the king: 'I have grown old, so send me a young boy in order to teach him magic.' The king sent him a young boy to serve the purpose. And on his way (to the magician) the young boy met a monk to whom he listened to and liked it. It became his habit that on his way to the magician, he would meet the monk and sit there and would come to the magician (late). The magician used to beat him because of this delay. He complained about this to the monk who said to him: 'When you feel afraid of the magician, say: Members of my family detained me. And when you fear your family, say: The magician detained me.' It so happened that there came a huge beast and it blocked the way of the people, and the young boy said: 'I will know today whether the magician or the monk is better.' He picked up a stone and said: 'O Allah, if the way of the monk is dearer to You than the way of the magician, bring about death to the animal so that the people be able to move about freely.' He threw that stone at it and killed it and the people began to move about freely. He then came to the monk and told him the story. The monk said: 'Son, today you are superior to me. You have come to a stage where I feel that you would be soon put to a trial, and in case you are put to a trial, do not reveal me.' That young boy began to heal those born blind and the lepers and he, in fact, began to cure people from all kinds of illnesses. When a courtier of the king who had gone blind heard about him, he came to him with numerous gifts and said, 'If you cure me, all these things will be yours.' He said, 'I myself do not cure anyone. It is Allah, the Exalted, Alone Who cures; and if you affirm faith in Allah, I shall also supplicate to Allah to cure you.' This courtier affirmed his faith in Allah and Allah cured him. He came to the king and sat by his side as he used to sit before. The king said to him, 'Who restored your eyesight?' He said, 'My Rubb.' Thereupon he said, 'Do you have another lord besides me?' He said, 'My Rubb and your Rubb is Allah.' So the king kept torturing him untill he revealed the young boy. The young boy was thus summoned and the king said to him, 'O boy, it has been conveyed to me that you have become so much proficient in your magic that you cure the blind and the lepers and you do such and such.' Thereupon he said, 'I do not cure anyone; it is Allah Alone Who cures,' and the king took hold of him and began to torture him until he revealed of the monk. The monk was summoned and it was said to him: 'You should turn back from your religion.' But he refused. The king sent for a saw, placed it in the middle of his head and cut him into two parts that fell down. Then the courtier of the king was brought forward and it was said to him: 'Turn back from your religion.' He, too, refused, and the saw was placed in the midst of his head and he was torn into two parts. Then the boy was sent for and it was said to him: 'Turn back from your religion.' He refused. The king then handed him over to a group of his courtiers, and said to them: 'Take him to such and such mountain; make him climb up that mountain and when you reach its peak ask him to renounce his Faith. If he refuses to do so, push him to his death.' So they took him and made him climb up the mountain and he said: 'O Allah, save me from them in any way you like,' and the mountain began to shake and they all fell down (dead) and that young boy came walking to the king. The king said to him, 'What happened to your companions?' He said, 'Allah has saved me from them.' He again handed him to some of his courtiers and said: 'Take him and carry him in a boat and when you reach the middle of the sea, ask him to renounce his religion. If he does not renounce his religion throw him (into the water).' So they took him and he said: 'O Allah, save me from them.' The boat turned upside down and they all drowned except the young boy who came walking to the king. The king said to him, 'What happened to your companions?' He said, 'Allah has saved me from them,' and he said to the king: 'You cannot kill me until you do what I command you to do.' The king asked, 'What is that?' He said, 'Gather all people in one place and tie me up to the trunk of a tree, then take an arrow from my quiver and say: With the Name of Allah, the Rubb of the boy; then shoot me. If you do that you will be able to kill me.' 'The king called the people in an open field and tied the young boy to the trunk of a tree. He took out an arrow from his quiver, fixed in the bow and said, 'With the Name of Allah, the Rubb of the young boy,' he then shot the arrow and it hit the boy's temple. The young boy placed his hand upon the temple where the arrow had hit him and died. The people then said: 'We believe in the Rubb of this young boy.' The king was told: 'Do you see what you were afraid of, by Allah it has taken place; all people have believed.' The king then commanded that trenches be dug and fire lit in them, and said: 'He who would not turn back from his (the young boy's) religion, throw him in the fire' or 'he would be ordered to jump into it.' They did so till a woman came with her child. She felt hesitant in jumping into the fire. The child said to her: 'O mother! Endure (this ordeal) for you are on the Right Path".

[Muslim].

D’après Chou’ayb (RA), Messager de Dieu (saws), a dit : « jadis vivait un roi qui avait un sorcier. Quand le sorcier se sentit vieillir, il dit au roi : « Me voilà maintenant âgé. Envoie-moi donc un jeune homme pour que je lui enseigne la magie ». Il lui envoya un jeune homme. Sur son chemin vers le sorcier, le jeune homme rencontra un moine. Il s’assit auprès de lui et écouta ses paroles qui lui plurent. Il faisait ainsi chaque fois qu’il se rendait chez le sorcier. Quand il arrivait auprès du sorcier, ce dernier le frappait pour son retard. Il s’en plaignit au moine qui lui dit : « Quand tu as peur de la colère du sorcier, dis lui :  «  J’ai été retenu par ma famille » et quand tu crains la colère de la famille, dis lui : « J’ai été retenu par le sorcier ».

Hadith 31 - Bab 3 (Patience and Perseverance)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (Peace be upon him) passed by a woman who was crying over a grave and said, "Fear Allah and be patient." She said, "Away from me! My calamity has not befallen you and you are not aware of it." The woman was later told that it was the Prophet (Peace be upon him) (who had advised her). She came to his door where she found no doorkeeper. She said, "(I am sorry) I did not know you." Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "Patience is (becoming) only at the first (stroke) of grief".

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Another narration in Muslim says: The woman was crying over her son.

Anas (DAS) a dit : «Le prophète (saws) passa devant une femme qui pleurait auprès d’une tombe. Il lui dit : « Crains Dieu et sois patiente ! » Elle dit : « Laissez moi en paix ! Tu n’as pas été touché par le malheur qui m’accable et tu n’a jamais rien connu de tel. » Quelqu’un lui dit : « C’est le Prophète (saws) » Elle se présenta à la porte du Prophète (saws) sans y trouvé de portier (pour l’en empêcher). Elle dit au Prophète (saws) : « Je ne t’avais pas reconnu ». Il dit : « La patience n’est digne de ce nom qui si elle pleurait si elle se manifeste au premier choc. » (Dans une autre version de Moslem : cette femme pleurait l’un de ses enfants. ) 

Hadith 32 - Bab 3 (Patience and Perseverance)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "Allah, the Exalted, says: 'I have no reward other than Jannah for a believing slave of Mine who remains patient for My sake when I take away his beloved one from among the inhabitants of the world".

[Al- Bukhari].

Abou Hourayra (DAS) rapporte que le messager de Dieu (saws) a dit : « Dieu le Très-Haut dit : «Quand Je reprends à Mon esclave croyant l’âme de l’être qu’il aime le plus au monde et qu’il se montre patient dans l’espoir de Ma récompense, Je n’en ai d’autre récompense pour lui que le Paradis. » (Rapporté par Al Boukhari) 

Hadith 33 - Bab 3 (Patience and Perseverance)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: I asked the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) about pestilence and he said, "It is a punishment which Allah sends upon whomsoever He wills, but Allah has made it as a mercy to the believers. Anyone who remains in a town which is plagued with pestilence maintaining patience expecting the reward from Allah, and knowing that nothing will befall him other than what Allah has foreordained for him, he would receive a reward of Shaheed".

[Al-Bukhari].

Aisha (DAS) a dit avoir interrogé le Messager de Dieu (saws) sur la peste. Il l’informa que c’était un fléau que Dieu le Très-Haut envoie sur qui Il veut .Il en a cependant une miséricorde pour les Croyants car il n’est pas un être se trouvant en pleine épidémie peste restant malgré cela dans son pays (pour ne pas propager la maladie), s’armant de patience dans l’espoir de Ma récompense et convaincu que seul peut l’atteindre ce que Dieu lui a prédestiné, qui n’ai un salaire égal à celui du martyr ». (Rapporté par Al Boukhâri)
