3:146
Patience is among the great virtues of the Prophets and awliya'. It is related to both physical and spiritual kinds of calamities. Thus the virtue of patience cannot be perfected unless a mu’min is afflicted by manifold calamities. This is extremely necessary, for God does not love the one who is not religious, patient and grateful (3:146). If someone during a trial shows anxiety, fear and panic, this deprives him of the supreme bounty, namely, the friendship of God (70:20).
Wisdom 5
In verse (3:146) there is the Divine teaching: "How many of the Prophets fought (in God’s way), and with them (fought) large bands of godly men? But they never lost heart if they met with disaster in God’s way, nor did they weaken (in will), nor give in (to the enemies). And God loves those who are firm and steadfast".
