The reason for placing patience before prayer in the saying of Allah the Exalted: "And seek help through patience and prayer"

Question:
This questioner asks about the noble verse why was patience placed before prayer here?

Answer:
Because patience is needed by a person at every moment: he is patient with the decrees of Allah, he is patient in obeying Allah, and he is patient in abstaining from the prohibitions of Allah. He needs it always and forever. As for prayer, it has specific times at which it is performed. So the Muslim needs patience always and forever, and he also prays at its times. Patience and prayer are the means by which one seeks help in times of hardship.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when a matter would befall him and his condition would become severe, would hasten to prayer and say: He (peace and blessings be upon him) would find relief in prayer from worries and distress, for it was the coolness of his eyes (peace and blessings be upon him). The one who prays is conversing with his Lord (Mighty and Majestic) and supplicating to Him while standing before Him, so he forgets the worries of this world and the hardships of this world if his heart is present and his heart is humble in his prayer. Yes.
