Patience on behalf of God, according to this interpretation, is the greatest type of patience. As for patience on behalf of God, as the common people imagine it to be patience on behalf of such-and-such, because of his separation from Him, that is not the business of the people of God, and Al-Shibli, when he fainted when the young man’s saying, “Patience on behalf of God is the greatest.” Patience made him faint because of the greatness of the position that is not Only the most perfect of men can reach him. When it became clear to Al-Shabli from the young man’s words, his incoming was stronger than Al-Shibli’s place, so the trance affected him. Likewise, every incoming that is stronger than the power of the place, it causes fainting and stupor, and the people of God have no precedence in patience with God over the interpretation of the common people.
