Quran test/patient

And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss
of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to As-Sâbirin (the
patient ones, etc.). (Al-Baqarah 2:155)

Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: "We
believe," and will not be tested. (Al-'Ankabut 29:2)

Verily, Allâh knows those who believe, and verily, He knows the
hypocrites [i.e. Allâh will test the people with good and hard days to
discriminate the good from the wicked (although Allâh knows all that
before putting them to test)]. (Al-'Ankabut 29:11)

And he (Iblîs ­ Satan) had no authority over them, except that We
might test him, who believes in the Hereafter from him who is in doubt
about it. And your Lord is a Hafiz over everything. (All­Knower of
everything i.e. He keeps record of each and every person as regards
deeds, and then He will reward them accordingly). (Saba' 34:21)

And surely, We shall try you till We test those who strive hard (for
the Cause of Allâh) and the patient ones, and We shall test your facts
(i.e. the one who is a liar, and the one who is truthful). (Muhammad
47:31)

Who has created death and life, that He may test you which of you is
best in deed. And He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving; (Al-Mulk 67:2)

"And indeed We sent Messengers before you (O Muhammad SAW), and made
for them wives and offspring. And it was not for a Messenger to bring
a sign except by Allâh's Leave. (For) each and every matter there is a
decree (from Allâh)." (Ra'd 13:38)

If a good befalls you, it grieves them, but if some evil overtakes
you, they rejoice at it. But if you remain patient and become
Al-Muttaqûn (the pious - see V.2:2), not the least harm will their
cunning do to you. Surely, Allâh surrounds all that they do. (Aali
Imran 3:120)

Whatever of good reaches you, is from Allâh, but whatever of evil
befalls you, is from yourself. And We have sent you (O Muhammad SAW)
as a Messenger to mankind, and Allâh is Sufficient as a Witness.
(An-Nisa 4:79)

If good befalls you (O Muhammad SAW), it grieves them, but if a
calamity overtakes you, they say: "We took our precaution beforehand,"
and they turn away rejoicing. (At-Tawbah 9:50)

No calamity befalls on the earth or in yourselves but is inscribed in
the Book of Decrees (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfûz), before We bring it into
existence. Verily, that is easy for Allâh. (Al-Hadid 57:22)

No calamity befalls, but with the Leave [i.e. decision and Qadar
(Divine Preordainments)] of Allâh, and whosoever believes in Allâh, He
guides his heart [to the true Faith with certainty, i.e. what has
befallen him was already written for him by Allâh from the Qadar
(Divine Preordainments)], and Allâh is the All-Knower of everything.
(At-Taghabun 64:11)

O you who believe! Seek help in patience and As-Salât (the prayer).
Truly! Allâh is with As-Sâbirin (the patient ones, etc.). (Al-Baqarah
2:153)

And obey Allâh and His Messenger, and do not dispute (with one
another) lest you lose courage and your strength depart, and be
patient. Surely, Allâh is with those who are As-Sâbirin (the patient
ones, etc.). (Al-Anfal 8:46)

And be patient; verily, Allâh loses not the reward of the good-doers.
(Hud 11:115)

And those who remain patient, seeking their Lord's Countenance,
perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât), and spend out of that which We
have bestowed on them, secretly and openly, and defend evil with good,
for such there is a good end; (Ra'd 13:22)

So be patient (O Muhammad SAW). Verily, the Promise of Allâh is true,
and let not those who have no certainty of faith, discourage you from
conveying Allâh's Message (which you are obliged to convey). (Ar-Rum
30:60)

Be patient (O Muhammad SAW) of what they say, and remember Our slave
Dâwûd (David), endued with power. Verily, he was ever oft-returning in
all matters and in repentance (toward Allâh). (Sad 38:17)

Say (O Muhammad SAW): "O My slaves who believe (in the Oneness of
Allâh Islâmic Monotheism), be afraid of your Lord (Allâh) and keep
your duty to Him. Good is (the reward) for those who do good in this
world, and Allâh's earth is spacious (so if you cannot worship Allâh
at a place, then go to another)! Only those who are patient shall
receive their rewards in full, without reckoning." (Az-Zumar 39:10)

So be patient (O Muhammad SAW). Verily, the Promise of Allâh is true,
and ask forgiveness for your fault[], and glorify the praises of your
Lord in the Ashi (i.e. the time period after the midnoon till sunset)
and in the Ibkâr (i.e. the time period from early morning or sunrise
till before midnoon) [it is said that, that means the five compulsory
congregational Salât (prayers) or the 'Asr and Fajr prayers]. (Ghafir
40:55)

So be patient (O Muhammad SAW ), with a good patience. (Al-Ma'arij 70:5)

Verily, man (disbeliever) was created very impatient; (Al-Ma'arij 70:19)

And be patient for the sake of your Lord (i.e. perform your duty to
Allâh)! (Al-Muddaththir 74:7)

Therefore be patient (O Muhammad SAW) and submit to the Command of
your Lord (Allâh, by doing your duty to Him and by conveying His
Message to mankind), and obey neither a sinner nor a disbeliever among
them. (Al-Insan 76:24)
