I learned patience from a small boy...

تعلمت الصبر من صبي صغير .

قال الفضيل بن عياض رحمه الله:

تعلمت الصبرمن صبي صغير. ذهبت مرة إلى المسجد فوجدت امرأة داخل دارها تضرب ابنها وهو يصرخ. ففتح الباب وهرب فأغلقت عليه الباب .

قال: فلما رجعتُ نظرتُ فلقيت الولد بعدما بكى قلي نام على عتبة الباب يستعطف أمه فرق قلب ·‌م ففتحت له الباب. فبكى الفضيل حتى ابتلت لحيته بالدموع. وقال: سبحان الله!
لو صبر العبد على باب الله عز وجل لفتح الله له!

I learned patience from a small boy...

Imām Fudayl ibn Iyād رحمه الله said:

I learned patience from a small boy. On my way to the Masjid one day, I came across a woman beating her son at home. As he was yelling and screaming, he managed to open the door and flee. So his mother locked the door on him.

When I returned from the Masjid, I found the boy after having cried and wept sleeping at the door of his home longing for his mother. So his mother’s heart softened and she opened the door for him. Upon witnessing this, Fudayl ibn Iyād cried until his beard became wet with tears, and then he said Subhān Allāh! If only the servant was to be patient at the door of Allāh, Allāh would surely open it!

Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 6/22
