Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, said:
0:08
"O you who have believed,
0:12
be patient, persevere, remain steadfast,
0:16
and fear Allah so that you may succeed."
0:22
And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
0:27
"O people!
0:29
Fear Allah,
0:31
for, by Allah, among the believers before you, a man
0:35
would have a saw placed upon his head,
0:38
and be sawn in two,
0:40
yet that would not turn him away from his religion.
0:43
So fear Allah,
0:45
for indeed, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic,
0:47
will grant you victory and provide for you."

A point of benefit:
0:54
It is authentically reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
0:59
"And Allah has not granted anyone a gift better and more vast than patience."
1:04
Patience is entirely good,
1:07
and indeed, the patient will be given their reward without measure.
1:11
Among the things that help one maintain patience
1:14
is the firm conviction that whatever touches a person, whether good or bad,
1:19
is something that Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has already decreed
1:23
before creating the creation,
1:25
and that afflictions may expiate a sin or elevate one's rank.
