Shaykhul-Islaam said regarding the saying of Allaah:
ﯪ ﯫ ﯬ ﯭ ﯮ ﯯ ﯰ
“So be patient, just like the Oolul-‘Azm (those of firm resolve) from the Messengers (were patient)…” [al-Ahqaaf (46):35]
“Every time the fitnah and the mihnah intensifies, then indeed the need for that is more severe, so the need for tolerance and Sabr is general for all of Banee Aadam. Neither the good of their Deen nor the good of their dunyaa can be established except with them.”
al-Istiqaamah (2/260)
