Question:
Some people say: "O patience of Ayyub?"
Answer:
He says: "O Allah, grant me success. What is this 'O patience'! Patience is not something to be called upon."
He says: "O Allah, grant me beautiful patience." This is good. Or he says: "O Allah, inspire me with patience in Your obedience, patience away from Your prohibitions." He does not ask for affliction. He says: "O Allah, grant me patience with what You have decreed for me, patience with what You have commanded me, and patience away from what You have forbidden to me." He asks his Lord for all types of patience, because he is in need of all of them.
