Salaam,
Brother, we learn to be patient by putting our issue in perspective. The closer we are emotionally to our issue the more impatient we are. It is akin to a microscope. If we narrow our field we concentrate on issue and it becomes very large. If we detach...we realize..it is minimal for there is a greater purpose.

Salaam,
Think of it like this....
Does impatience have limits? Does ignorance have limits? Does stupidity have limits?
When one has full trust in Allah swt and do not fear any provisions, such as not having food, then they've mastered the art.
The way to easing is THROUGH the difficulty. It takes patience, perseverance, or enduring with a good spirit still in tact, in order to reap both the internal and external rewards of struggle.
Patiently persevering, striving and going forward, despite the difficulty, is the pinnacle of behavior during challenging times.
"Through every difficulty there is relief. Verily, through every difficulty there is relief" (94:5-6)

Salaam,
Like sister Mirajmom said it's akin to a microscope. In some respects it's relative to the individual. But as a concept, it's really difficult to say it has limits. I hope that makes sense
"Don't test my patience" is a figure of speech. His patience might not be the same as another's patience. Someone can have greater patience.

The Virtues of Patience
taught us what to do in every stage in life. This is one of the qualities that makes the religion of Islam very unique and standout from other religions which are practiced in many parts of the world.
The religion of Islam tells us what to do as soon as we open our eyes in the morning and throughout the remainder of the day and night till we close our eyes and go to sleep. For this and many other reasons the religion of Islam is the most complete.
Not only is this religion complete on telling us how to live our lives, but there is reward for all the good deeds we do and punishment for all the sins we commit.
I would like to discuss the rewards and virtues of one particular good deed: Patience. First I would like to put forward an example of the Prophet
being patient. The story takes place in the city not far away from Mecca , known as Ta'if. The Prophet
went there to preach Islam to the locals. The Prophet
approached the leaders of Ta'if and called them towards Islam. Not only did the leaders reject the call to Islam but they reacted in such a way that they set young children upon the Prophet
to taunt him, stone him and chase him out of Ta'if. The Holy Prophet
bled till his footwear was drenched in blood. The Angel Jibra'eel Alayhis Salaam came to the Prophet
and said, “If you wish, then I will give the order for two angels to crush the residents of Ta'if between the two mountains in which it lies.” The Prophet
replied in the negative and said, “I am hopeful that their descendants will accept Islam.” Allahu Akbar. This was the patience of the Prophet
Let's put ourselves in that position, an innocent man leaving his young children and wife at home to present the gift of Islam to strangers; risking life and limb in the hot desert. What would we do if we had been beaten so severely that our feet were soaking in our blood? Will we be able to control our anger to the extent that we don't attempt to frighten the perpetrators in the slightest or even show them deterring effects when given complete control and resources to do so?
He
did not have to turn the other cheek as numerous rocks were hitting both and cutting the rest of his blessed body also. Showing impeccable foresight his response was prayer for the generations to come. Allah be praised.
(incidently in answer to some common sayings regarding the Prophet
going to a mountain if the mountain did not come to him, the Mountain could have miraculously moved in any direction but due to the Prophet
' s concern for people's well being Prophet Muhammad
did not ask it to do so. The Prophet
also used to meditate in solitude in the cave Hira in Mount Noor on the outskirts of Makka, there would not have been any solitude if the mountain was in the crowded area of Makkah. Our beloved Prophet
did not have an ultra ego nor any such whimsical desire to needlessly require something let alone trouble anyone in the process to acquire it. Other theologies also include Prophets and personalities retreating to a place of seclusion for spiritual purposes however the Miraculous Quran was only revealed to the Best of Mankind who would exemplify its teachings by being a practical example.)
Back to the topic in hand, Allah mentions in the Qur'an:
“Indeed Allah is with those who are patient.”
Patience is of three types:
(i) Patience upon obedience – To be patient when finding it hard obeying Allah Taala's rules.
(ii) To be patient when a trouble befalls you.
(iii) To be patient when finding it hard to abstain from sins.
Every believer should have the above types of patience. The Prophet
mentioned in a Hadith that patience is from Allah and hastiness is from the Devil.
The first type of patience is when obeying Allah and finding it difficult to do so. For example, waking up early for the fajr prayers. We should be patient and show gratitude when carrying out these deeds.
The second type of patience is when a trouble befalls you. For example, a vehicle accident or the loss of property. We should be patient at these times.
The third type of patience is when finding it hard to abstain from sins. For example, when a person listens to music and then finds out it is not allowed in Islam to listen to music, this person tries his utmost best to refrain from listening to music, even if he has the urge to do so.
Being patient is a great virtue and comes with a great reward.
May Allah Taa'la accept and reward us for every good deed we do. Ameen
The religion of Allah Taa'la is 100% complete and was brought to us by the best of mankind, the Holy Prophet
. Allah Taa'la used the Holy Prophet
to perfect this religion of His, meaning that the Prophet
was the perfect example for us to follow.
