[2:153] O you who believe, seek help through patience and prayer; surely God is with the patient.
'Seek help through patience for the blessing (ṣalāt)'. That is to say, 'your being worthy of your Lord's blessing (ṣalāt) is by your patience at the flow of the decrees of the Real over you'. For that reason God Most High said: yet give good tidings to the patient [2:155] followed by: Upon those rest blessings (ṣalawāt) and mercy from their Lord [2:157].
It is said that the patient are entitled to the ultimate treasures and the highest ranks inasmuch as they have attained the company (maʿiyya) of God Most High Who said 'Surely God is with (maʿa) the patient'.
