Allah, The Exalted, Commands Endurance
[ALLAH’S Quran – 3:200] “O believers! Patiently endure, persevere, stand on guard, and be mindful of Allah, so you may be successful.”
The Prophet (peace be upon him) has said:
[Muslim, Book #007, Hadith #3181] “Yuhannis, the freed slave of Zubair, narrated that when he was sitting with Abdullah b. ‘Umar (Allah be pleased with him) during the days of turmoil, his freed slave-girl came to him. After saluting him she said: Abu Abd al-Rahmin, I have decided to leave (Medina) for the time is hard for us, whereupon Abdullah said to her: Stay here, foolish lady, for I have heard Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: For one who shows endurance on the hardships and rigor of it (of Medina) I would be an intercessor or a witness on his behalf on the Day of Resurrection.”
