So he coupled faith with patience, and the Book spoke with the praise of patience in many places; so from that is His, Mighty and Majestic is He, saying:[ And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient ] 1 .
And He, Majestic is His name, said: [and the patient in poverty and hardship and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true, and those are the righteous ] 2 and the most confirmed of things with which we were advised is the use of precaution in its proper place, and it is the sanctuary of the religion, an obligatory duty upon the believers during the state of the oppressors, so whoever leaves it in its proper place is an opposer to God, Lord of the worlds.
[40] For from that is the saying of al-Sadiq, transcended his might: "If I said that the abandoner of precaution is like the abandoner of prayer, I would be truthful."
