انْقَطَعَ شِسْعُ نَعْلِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَ هُوَ فِي جَنَازَةٍ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ بِشِسْعِهِ لِيُنَاوِلَهُ فَقَالَ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ شِسْعَكَ فَإِنَّ صَاحِبَ الْمُصِيبَةِ[2] أَوْلَى بِالصَّبْرِ عَلَيْهَا.

Abu Abdullah (asws) said, ‘A strip of the slipper of Abu Abdullah (asws) broke whilst he (asws) was in a funeral. So a man came with his strip for his (asws) slipper (as a replacement). He (asws) said: ‘Hold on to your strip, for patience is foremost for the people in misfortune’.
