Translation: Aboo Aamaal Misbaah Olagunju
The Fourth Counsel (O Student of Knowledge) is:
الصبر على الناس
PATIENCE WITH THE PEOPLE
And tolerating whatever occurs from them as a means to seeking Allah’s Face. Certainly O brothers, amongst people are the hasty, and amongst them are the foolish, and amongst them are the ignoramus, and amongst them are the spiteful, there are numerous categories within them which are very difficult on the student of knowledge to relate with except by being patient with them, seeking the aid of Allah in that, intending to attain the Face (favour) of Allah through that patience.
Al-Wasaayaa Litulaabil Ilm (13) — Ash-Shaykh Dr. Abdullah bin Abdul'Azeez Al-‘Anqariy
