1. My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Ahmad bin Abi Abdillah al-Barqi, from some of our companions, that he ascribed it, saying
Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, said: The overcoming is the one who overcomes with goodness, and the overcome is the one who overcomes with evil, and the believer is harnessed.
أبي رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن أبي عبد الله البرقي، عن بعض أصحابنا رفعه، قال
قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: الأغلب من غلب بالخير، والمغلوب من غلب بالشر، والمؤمن ملجم.
