The Prophet ﷺ said:

“Verily, the patience is at the first stroke of a calamity.”

A woman was weeping at her husband’s grave when the Prophet ﷺ approached her. He said to her: “Fear Allah and be patient.” She turned to him harshly, saying, “Leave me alone — you have not been afflicted with a calamity like mine.” She did not recognize him. When she learned he was the Prophet ﷺ, she came to his house to apologize. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Verily, the patience is at the first stroke of a calamity.”
