Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner, Abu 'Amir, asks: Why do some people say, "I have been patient with you, with the patience of Ayyub"? Why is patience associated with Ayyub?
Answer:
Because Ayyub was afflicted; he was afflicted with illness. His wife used to serve him, but then he became angry with her, so she left him. At that point, he called upon his Lord, saying, "Indeed, adversity has touched me, and You are the Most Merciful of the merciful." So Allah responded to him, removed the adversity from him, and gave him back his family and the like of them with them. Yes.

May Allah bless you,
