37 – Ibrāhīm ibn ʿAbd Allāh narrated to me; he said, “I heard ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥasan say:

Someone asked one of the sages, ‘Which discipline of forbearance is the hardest?’ He replied, ‘That you lay your companion’s faults before him and he restrains himself. The truly forbearing person is not the one who slanders, but the one who speaks the truth and then bears it with patience.’”
