What does the Qur'an say about patience (sabr)?

Patience (sabr) is one of the most emphasized qualities in the Qur'an. Allah promises He is with the patient, and that those who respond to hardship by returning to Him receive His blessings and mercy.

“O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.”— 2:153 (Saheeh International)
“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." Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy.”— 2:155-157 (Saheeh International)
