Do Not Despair If You Face Obstacles or Problems; Rather, Forbear and Be Patient.
“O’ time, if you have any of that leftover,
From which you bring down the worthy, then let me have it.”
Patience, as opposed to anxiety, bears the fruit of comfort; and the one who does not voluntarily show patience will have it forced upon him by circumstances.
Al-Mutanabbi said:
“Time has showered me with trouble until
The arrows on my heart have formed a cover,
That now when I am struck with an arrow,
The blade of it strikes into the shaft of another,
Now I live without a care for troubles.
Since I have not profited by caring.”
