39. So (O Prophet!) be patient [45] over what they say, and glorify your Lord with praise before sunrise and before sunset.
[45] When a Muslim becomes distressed by the gloating, mockery, ridicule, or harm from his enemies, or is surrounded by difficulties for any other reason, he should act with patience and endurance and turn to his Lord, considering Him as his only support. He should remain engaged in His glorification, declaration of His oneness, and remembrance. This will greatly alleviate and lighten his mental anguish. This is the very elixir that is being advised to the Noble Prophet ﷺ, and similar advice has been given to all Muslims at numerous places.
