The ruling on describing Allah as being patient

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is Allah (Mighty and Majestic) described as being patient?For example, he says: The Jews did such and such, so did Allah have patience with them?

He is described as being patient (Sabir) based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): (No one is more patient in enduring the harm he hears than Allah (Mighty and Majestic)) Thus, Allah is made more patient than all who are patient in enduring the harm He hears, but He is not named by that,So it is not said, for example: that among His names is "the Patient" (al-Sabir); because the chapter of informing (ikhabar) is broader than the chapter of creating (insha').
