Zayd al-Shuh'ham quoted upon the authority of Imam Sadiq (a.s): “O' Zayd! Be patient with your enemies since you can never fight with those rebelling against God except by obeying Him. God will keep his believing servants away from evil, as you separate a strange female camel that does not belong to you from your male camels. O' Zayd! God has chosen and has established Islam. Therefore treat the people gently and with kindness.”
عن زيد الشحام قال
قال أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام): اصبر يا زيد على أعدائك، فإنك لن تكافي من عصى الله بأكثر من أن تطيع الله فيه، إن الله يذود عبده المؤمن عما يكره كما يذود أحدكم الجمل الغريب الذي ليس له عن إبله، يا زيد إن الله اصطفى الإسلام واختاره فأحسنوا صحبته بالسخاء وحسن الخلق.
