9 - Isḥāq ibn Ismāʿīl narrated to us, saying: Sulaymān ibn al-Ḥakam ibn ʿAwāna narrated to us, saying: ʿUtba ibn Ḥumayd narrated to us, from someone who narrated to him, from Qabīṣa ibn Jābir, who said: ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib, may God be pleased with him, said: “Patience rests on four branches: on longing, fear, asceticism (zuhd), and anticipation. So whoever longs for Paradise becomes indifferent to desires; whoever fears the Hellfire turns away from forbidden things; whoever practices asceticism in this world views afflictions lightly; and whoever anticipates death hastens toward good deeds.”

٩ - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ عَوَانَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عُتْبَةُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ، عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رضي الله عنه: " الصَّبْرُ عَلَى أَرْبَعِ شِعْبٍ: عَلَى الشَّوْقِ، وَالشَّفَقِ، وَالزَّهَادَةِ، وَالتَّرَقُّبِ. فَمَنِ اشْتَاقَ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ سَلَا عَنِ الشَّهَوَاتِ، وَمَنْ أَشْفَقَ مِنَ النَّارِ رَجَعَ عَنِ الْمُحَرَّمَاتِ. وَمَنْ زَهِدَ فِي الدُّنْيَا تَهَاوَنَ بِالْمُصِيبَاتِ. وَمَنِ ارْتَقَبَ الْمَوْتَ تَسَارَعَ إِلَى الْخَيْرَاتِ "
