Muj�hid said: "Beautiful patience is patience without any panic."
Amr ibn Qays said: "Beautiful patience means to be content with adversity and to surrender to the will of All�h."
Y�nus ibn Yaz�d said: I asked Rab�'ah ibn Abu 'Abdur-Rahm�n: "What is the ultimate of patience?" He said: "To be outwardly the same at the time of affliction as one was the day before it struck." (This does not mean that a person does not or should not feel pain or anguish; patience in this instance means that one refrains from panicking and complaining.)
"Whoever tries to be patient, Allah will make him patient. And nobody can be given a better and greater gift than patience."
(Bukhari: Volume 2, Book 24, No. 548)
