"O YOU WHO BELIEVE, SEEK HELP THROUGH PATIENCE AND PRAYER. SURELY, ALLAH IS WITH THOSE WHO ARE PATIENT." (SURAH AL-BAQARAH:153) - PART 2

Continued from before...

People generally identify Sabr with its third form only, which is doing Sabr when something undesirable happens, and ignore the first two forms which are more basic and essential. All of the three are equally obligatory, and every Muslim is required to practice all the three forms of Sabr. In the terminology of the Holy Quran and the Hadith Al-Sabirun is the title of those who are steadfast in observing all the three forms of Sabr with equal rigour. According to the Hadith people will hear a call on the Day of Judgment, "Where are the Sabirun?" At this those who would have been steadfast in observing all the three forms of Sabr will stand up, and they will be allowed to enter Paradise without having to account for their deeds. In citing this Hadith Ibn Kathir said that it is corroborated by the Holy Quran itself: 

إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى ٱلصَّـٰبِرُونَ أَجۡرَهُم بِغَيۡرِ حِسَابٍ۬ 

"The Sabirun shall certainly receive their full reward without reckoning." (39:10)
