patience- whats it mean?

:salamext:


Oh yeah, i heard in tearful moments



Sahih Bukhari Volume 2, Book 23, Number 391:

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar :


Sad bin 'Ubada became sick and the Prophet along with 'Abdur Rahman bin 'Auf, Sad bin Abi Waqqas and 'Abdullah bin Masud visited him to enquire about his health. When he came to him, he found him surrounded by his household and he asked, "Has he died?" They said, "No, O Allah's Apostle." The Prophet wept and when the people saw the weeping of Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) they all wept. He said, "Will you listen? Allah does not punish for shedding tears, nor for the grief of the heart but he punishes or bestows His Mercy because of this." He pointed to his tongueand added, "The deceased is punished for the wailing of his relatives over him." 'Umar used to beat with a stick and throw stones and put dust over the faces (of those who used to wail over the dead).

And remember to say when the calamity hits you:



And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient,

Who, when disaster strikes them, say,
"Indeed we belong to Allah , and indeed to Him we will return."


إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ


[Qur'an: 2 (surah baqarah) 155-6]


Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the [rightly] guided. [2:157]

Is it considered Impatience if I shout to myself or mumble words of despair or feel hopeless? even though i'm convinced Allah will make a way out?

It depends what you are shouting or mumbling. Anything that implies that you are angry with Allah, indicates that you do not believe it was Allah's will for this to happen and that is a sin. But I don't see why you can't punch a pillow or something to let your anger out. Just don't lose you imaan.

If you're going to mumble, then let it be good words asking Allah to help you in your affairs.
