Commentary 13:22 Sabar صبر, according to Râghib, means patiently perseverant, limiting oneself to that which reason and law requires, or withholding from that which is…
وَالَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِمْ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَنفَقُوا مِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ سِرًّا وَعَلَانِيَةً وَيَدْرَءُونَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ السَّيِّئَةَ أُولَـٰئِكَ لَهُمْ عُقْبَى الدَّارِ
13:22 Sabar صبر, according to Râghib, means patiently perseverant, limiting oneself to that which reason and law requires, or withholding from that which is prohibited (cf. 12:90). “Who avert evil with good” means that such a person follows the course best suited for the eradication of evil. If punishment helps to eradicate evil, they punish; if forgiveness is the solution, then they forgive (cf. 42:40). If they are subjected to injustice or transgression, they repel it in a good and just way. It also refers to endeavors to bring situations from evil to good by the right words, or good and just deeds.
