قَالَ لِي يَا زَيْدُ اصْبِرْ عَلَى أَعْدَاءِ النِّعَمِ فَإِنَّكَ لَنْ تُكَافِئَ مَنْ عَصَى اللَّهَ فِيكَ بِأَفْضَلَ مِنْ أَنْ تُطِيعَ اللَّهَ فِيهِ يَا زَيْدُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَى الْإِسْلَامَ وَ اخْتَارَهُ فَأَحْسِنُوا صُحْبَتَهُ بِالسَّخَاءِ وَ حُسْنِ الْخُلُقِ .
Translation
Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Washa, from Abdul Kareem Bin Amro, from Abu Asama Zayd Al Shahham, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said to me: ‘O Zayd! Observe patience upon the enemies of the favours, for you will never suffice yourself from the one who disobeys Allah<sup>azwj</sup> regarding you with anything more superior than your obedience to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> regarding him. O Zayd! Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Chose Al-Islam and Selected it, therefore be good companions of it by the generosity and the best manners’.
