He who has no patience has no religion

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks, saying in his question: Is the hadith "He who has no patience has no religion" authentic?

Answer:
By Allah, I do not know this hadith with this wording. But what I know is the statement of the Commander of the Faithful, 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: "Patience is to religion what the head is to the body; so he who has no patience has no religion," or as he said. This is from the words of 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), as far as I know. As for it being a hadith, I do not know it. In any case, there is no doubt that patience is very important. Allah commanded it in the Qur'an in more than seventy places, commanding patience. The one who has no patience does not persist in worship, nor in obedience, nor in calling to Allah, nor in enjoining good and forbidding evil, nor in jihad, nor in standing in night prayer, nor in fasting. Indeed, he may not even persist in performing the obligatory acts, because the obligatory acts require striving and patience. Praying in congregation, especially at times of sleep, cold, and fatigue, requires patience. So the one who has no patience cannot persist in acts of worship. Yes.
