Patience in abstaining from eating Haraam meat, carrion and blood, when the alternative is death from starvation. Tawus and Ahmad bin Hanbal said, "Whoever has no choice but to eat carrion, Haraam meat and blood, but refuses to eat it and dies as a consequence, will enter Hell." 3. Patience in refraining from begging. There is a dispute as to whether begging from people is forbidden or permissible. Imam Ahmad said that this kind of patience and abstention is allowed. He was asked, "What if the person fears that if he does not do that, he will die?" Imam Ahmad answered, 'No, he will not die. Allaah will send him his due provision (Rizq)." Imam Ahmad did not allow begging when Allaah knows the need of a person and his sincerity in abstaining from begging, Allaah will send him Rizq. Other scholars, including some of Imam Ahmad's companions and Imam Shafi'ee said, "It is obligatory on such a person to beg, and if he did not beg, then he would be a wrongdoer, because by begging he protects himself from death." 4. Patience in enduring things that may lead to death, such as predators, snake, Fire and water.
