In Sifat ul-Shi’ia it is narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) told Zayd al-Shaham
“O' Zayd! Please be patient with your enemies. You cannot do anything better than to obey God in response to his disobedience of God regarding you. God will keep the believing servants whom He loves away from what he does not like, in the same manner that you push aside a strange camel which is not yours but has mixed in with your camels. O' Zayd! God chose Islam, and chose it so you help Islam with your generosity and good-temper.”
من كتاب صفات الشيعة: عن زيد الشحام عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
اصبر يا زيد على أعدائك، فإنك لن تكافئ من عصى الله فيك 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.
