The questioner : Okay, is it permissible for a person to frequently supplicate that Allah grant him patience, or that Allah grant him patience?
The Shaykh : Yes, of course!
The questioner : Because one who remembers [this] said that he would say that he supplicates among the students of knowledge, saying, "You do not say, 'May Allah make us among the patient ones.' Do not ask for this thing," he said.
The Shaykh : No, he asks. How can he not? May Allah guide him. O Allah, make us among the patient ones.
The questioner: Amen, O Lord.
