And the fewest among them are the most patient in both cases.
الْمَوْضِعَيْنِ — the two places. This is the dual, the 'exactly two' form, carried in the noun's own ending rather than by a separate 'two'. It points back to the two situations contrasted throughout the passage. As object of the preposition before it, it takes the genitive ending.
