The Chapter of Condolences and Grief During Calamities, Visiting Graves, Lamentation and Mourning Gatherings
وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «لَوْ لاَ أَنَّ اَلصَّبْرَ خُلِقَ قَبْلَ اَلْبَلاَءِ لَتَفَطَّرَ اَلْمُؤْمِنُ كَمَا تَتَفَطَّرُ اَلْبَيْضَةُ عَلَى اَلصَّفَا.
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "If patience had not been created before trials, the believer would have shattered like an egg striking a rock."
