* The words "hardship" (ٱلْعُسْرِ, ''al-'usri'') and "patience" (صَبْرًا, ''sabran'') both occur 114 times.
** The word ''sabran'' is derived from the root صبر (s-b-r). There are only 103 words derived from this root in the Qur'an <ref>http://corpus.quran.com/qurandictionary.jsp?q=Sbr</ref>, most of them being verbs. ''al-'usri'' is derived from the root عسر. There are only 12 occurrences of words derived from this root in the Qur'an<ref>http://corpus.quran.com/qurandictionary.jsp?q=Esr</ref>. Apologists probably meant the word "severe" (شَدِيدٌ, ''shadidun''), but there are only 102 words derived from its root (شدد) in the Qur'an <ref>http://corpus.quran.com/qurandictionary.jsp?q=%24dd</ref>.
