 ** When we search for all occurrences of words derived from the root شجر (sh-j-r), we find 27 occurrences <ref>http://corpus.quran.com/qurandictionary.jsp?q=%24jr</ref>. When we exclude the words "arises", "vegetation" and "plant", we get '''24 occurrences'''.
 ** When we search for the root نبت (''n-b-t''), we get 26 occurrences <ref>http://corpus.quran.com/qurandictionary.jsp?q=nbt</ref>. Most of them are verbs and the rest of the words are questionable whether to count them or not. If we count only the singular word "plant" then we get '''0 occurences'''.
+* 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>.
