Praise be to Allah Almighty
The patience of men and the patience of animals
We always commence by sending blessings and salutations upon the best of Creation (Muhammad) Peace be upon him, his entire household, all his companions, may Allah bless them all and bless each and every single one of us. Aameen
The four types of patience we mentioned apply only to human beings. Animals share only the two types of patience in which there is no choice, and man is distinguished by having the patience in which there is choice. However, many people have only the types of patience that animals have, i.e. patience without choice.

The patience of jinn 👇
Jinn share the quality of patience with humans, as they are responsible for their actions like humans are. They need patience to fulfil their responsibilities towards Allah the same way that we do.
One might ask: are they responsible in the same way that we are, or in a different way? The answer is that with regard to matters of emotion and feelings they are responsible just as we are, and share the obligation to love for the sake of Allah and hate for Allah, to believe and have faith, to take believers for friends and unbelievers for enemies, etc. But as far as physical matters such as ghusl, wudu‘, washing after relieving oneself and circumcision are concerned, they are not the same as us. Their duties in that regard are in accordance with the way they are created.

The patience of the angels👇
Another question that may arise is: Do angels have patience? The answer is that angels are not tested with whims and desires that contradict their reason and knowledge. For them, worshipping and obeying Allâh are like breathing is for us. Therefore the angels do not need patience, because patience is needed when one has conflicting motives, religion and reason opposite to whims and desires.
However, the angels may have some kind of patience which befits them and makes them persevere in doing what they were created for.
We ask Allah Almighty to make us and among those who have the Quality of Patience. Aameen
