Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 28
وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «اَلصَّبْرُ صَبْرَانِ فَالصَّبْرُ عِنْدَ اَلْمُصِيبَةِ حَسَنٌ جَمِيلٌ وَ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ اَلصَّبْرُ عِنْدَ مَا حَرَّمَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْكَ فَيَكُونُ لَكَ حَاجِزاً.
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "Patience is of two types: patience during a calamity, which is good and beautiful, and greater than this is patience in refraining from what Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, has forbidden, as it acts as a barrier for you."
