Patience out of faith is like a head to a body

"According to some documented narrations related to the infallible Imams, the importance of patience has been defined as follows: "Patience out of faith is like a head to a body." The head of a person holds the most critical importance as far as life is concerned. One may tolerate the absence of different parts in the human body such as hands, feet, eyes, ears etc. But if the head which is the controlling room for the whole nervous system, does not exist or is crippled, then all the parts and systems of the body will become crippled. The body may remain alive, but in reality it will not be different than a dead body.”
