ٱلصَّبُورُ
As-Sabur
The Most Patient
Name 99 of 99

📖 In the Qur'an

As-Sabur does not appear as this exact noun applied to Allah anywhere in the Qur’an or in a hadith with a strong chain. It is widely printed in popular lists of the 99 (via the Tirmidhi enumeration), and its meaning — that Allah delays the punishment of the disobedient out of patience — is well supported by the Qur’an’s repeated descriptions of Him as Halim (Most Forbearing) and Ghafur (Forgiving), even though this precise wording is not found describing Him directly in an ayah.

💡 Reflection

As-Sabur's patience with His disobedient servants is beyond measure, giving time for return rather than immediate punishment — though, like Ar-Rashid, this specific wording rests on a weaker textual basis than most of the 99.
