Translation:

153. O ye who believe! seek help with patient perseverance and prayer: for Allah is with those who patiently persevere.

Notes (Tafseer)

157. See ii. 45 and n. An additional meaning implied in sabr is self-restraint. Haqqani defines it in his Tafsir as following Reason and restraining Fear, Anger, and Desire. What can be a higher reward for patience, perseverance, self-restraint and constancy than that God should be with us? For this promise opens the door to every kind of spiritual well-being.
