According to Shiite [[hadith]]s, Jacob (a) suffered a separation from his son, [[Joseph (a)]], because he and his family ignored the begging of a hungry poor man. According to other hadiths, Jacob (a) was very patient, citing a supplication by Jacob (a) according to which: "I only complain of my suffering and my grief to Allah, and I know from Allah that which you do not know" (Sura Yusuf: 86). And "the most fitting patience" is interpreted as taking one's complaints to God, rather than people, just as Jacob did. | According to Shiite [[hadith]]s, Jacob (a) suffered a separation from his son, [[Joseph (a)]], because he and his family ignored the begging of a hungry poor man.
