patience and tolerance of the prophet (PBUH)
One of the things that have a lot to do with a person's success, and is the condition for success in things, especially in big things, is a lot of patience.
Moreover, one of the factors of the success of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, was his patience.
Undoubtedly, those who are equipped with the heavy anchor of patience and endurance can save the ship from the sinking abyss and the destruction of society.
The Holy Prophet, may God bless him was faced with all kinds of slanders, insults, and insults.
Among them, he was addressed as a madman[1], a poet[2] a sorcerer [3], and... by the polytheists of Hejaz, none of which stopped the Prophet from continuing on his way.
strewing stuff over his head, three years of intolerable suffering from Shi'b Abi Talib, and the biggest of all, the ignorance of the people and their meekness and his tolerance in the face of difficult and unfortunate events made him gradually overcome problems and adversities.
and social anomalies and bitterness turned into sweetness and victory due to the patience and forbearance of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).
The Messenger of God, may God bless him, says in a hadith:
Patience has four branches: enthusiasm, fear, asceticism, and waiting; Whoever longs for heaven should give up lust, whoever fears the fire, should keep himself from the forbidden things, whoever ignores the world should not care about adversities, and whoever waits for death should strive for good deeds.[4]
