Patience

Abu Hurairah [may Allah be pleased with him] reported that the Messengeer of Allah [peace be upon him] said, "He whom Allah intends good, He makes him to suffer from some affliction."  [Al Bukhari]

Commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf: Troubles of this world like grief, calamity, disease, poverty, loss of life and property, etc., have a benign aspect for a Muslim in the sense that on account of them he turns towards Allah and begs mercy and compassion from Him because of which his sins are forgiven.  Thus, in these troubles there is blessing for him in the Hereafter.
