14ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ رَفَعَهُ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ الصَّبْرُ صَبْرَانِ صَبْرٌ عَلَى الْبَلاءِ حَسَنٌ جَمِيلٌ وَأَفْضَلُ الصَّبْرَيْنِ الْوَرَعُ عَنِ الْمَحَارِمِ.
14. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from his father from Yunus ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman who has narrated it in a marfu’ manner from abu Ja’far عليه السلام who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far عليه السلام has said, ‘Patience is of two kinds: to exercise patience in hardship, which is good and graceful, yet, the best of patience is that which is exercised to stop one from committing what Allah has prohibited.”’
