789. 3. Imam Musa al-Kazim (p): Remain calm and steadfast at the tyranny of your enemies. There can be no better revenge against those who have disobeyed God in dealing with you than to obey God. God will confine them to the chastisement of hell.(B5,C54,T3)

790. 4. Imam Jafar as-Sadiq (p): If you are living in a country governed by your enemies, act with forbearance against their persecutions as a prudent and precautionary measure.

Do not reveal your enmity, otherwise they will overpower you and you will become degraded and despised.(B5,C54,T4)

791. 5. Imam Jafar as-Sadiq (p): One who suppresses his anger, God enhances his eminence in this world and the hereafter.

Remain within its limits by being generous and good mannered.(B5,C54,T8)

794. 9. Imam Zainul Abideen (p): One, who chooses the way of God, has to drink two cups. One is to act with restraint in case of anger and the other is to act with patience and steadfastness in a case of adversity.(B5,C54,T9)
