Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn abu Nasr from Muhammad ibn ‘Ubayd Allah who has said the following: “I heard al-Rida (a.s.) saying, ‘A man cannot become a worshipper until he becomes a forbearing one.

2. Muhammad ibnYahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Nu’man from ibn Muskan from abu Hamza who has said the following: “The believer’s deeds are mixed with forbearance. He sits to learn and speaks to understand. He does not tell his friends about his trust and he does not hide his testimony for the enemies. He does not do any true thing to show off and does not ignore it due to shyness. If he purifies himself he fears what they may say and he asks forgiveness from Allah for what they do not know. The words of those who do not know him do not make him boastful. He fears from the record of his deeds.”
