The questioner is advised to consult Ibn Al-Qayyim's books, 'Uddat al-Sabirin wa Dhakhirat ash-Shakirin (The Equipment of the Patient and the Provision of the Grateful) and Madarij as-Salikin (The Stages of the Seekers). As for the book Al-Jami' bayn as-Sabr wa ash-Shukr fil-Musibah (The Combination of Patience and Gratitude in Calamity), it is by Ibn Taymiyyah, as is his treatise Qā'idah fi as-Sabr (A Principle Concerning Patience).
