صَبرُ شيعَةِ أهلِ البَيتِ عَلَيهِم الّسَلام The Patience Possessed by the Shi`aa of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS)

20ـ عن الوَشّاء عن بعضِ أصحابِهِ عن الإمامِ الصّادقِ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنّا صُبَّرٌ وشِيعَتُنا أصبَرُ مِنّا ، قلتُ: جُعِلتُ فِداكَ، كيفَ صارَ شِيعَتُكُم أصبَرَ مِنكُم ؟ قالَ: لأ نّا نَصبِرُ على ما نَعلَمُ ، وشِيعَتُنا يَصبِرُونَ على ما لا يَعلَمُونَ.


20– Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said to one of his companions, ‘Verily we are very patient and our Shi`aa are even more patient than us.’ His companion asked, ‘May I be your ransom, how can your Shi`aa be more patient than yourselves?’ He replied, ‘Because we are patient alongside our knowledge [of everything], whereas our Shi`aa are patient in spite of not knowing.’[Ibid. no. 25]
