And on the authority of Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

and he said to her, "Fear Allah and be patient."
0:34
She replied, "Leave me alone! You have not been afflicted with my calamity,"
0:39
for she did not recognize him.
0:41
It was then said to her, "That was the Prophet (peace be upon him)."
0:46
So she came to the door of the Prophet (peace be upon him),
0:50
and finding no doorkeepers there,
0:53

1:14
the seed of goodness, and the recourse of the one who has no recourse.
1:18

1:21
followed by alertness, then steadfastness,
1:24
then striving for patience, then true patience, and finally contentment,
1:29
which is the utmost pinnacle of all states."
