9ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ حَفْصٍ بَيَّاعِ السَّابِرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ (عَلَيهِما السَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) مِنْ أَحَبِّ السَّبِيلِ إِلَى الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ جُرْعَتَانِ جُرْعَةُ غَيْظٍ تَرُدُّهَا بِحِلْمٍ وَجُرْعَةُ مُصِيبَةٍ تَرُدُّهَا بِصَبْرٍ.
9. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus from Hafs Bayya’ al-Sabiri from abu Hamza from Ali ibn al-Husayn عليه السلام who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘Of the most beloved path to Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, there are two drops: The drop of anger that one brushes aside and repels with tolerance and the drop of suffering that one wipes off with patience.’”
