Avoiding the temptation to sin and being patient upon that, is greater than being patient whilst being afflicted with trials.
Ibn TaymiyyahBeautiful leaving (hajr), is to leave without harming, beautiful pardoning is to pardon without rebuking, and beautiful patience is to be patient without complaining.
Ibn TaymiyyahThe one who is [truly] imprisoned is the one whose heart is imprisoned from Allah and the captivated one is the one whose desires have enslaved him.
Ibn Taymiyyah
