39. We were told by my father, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Isa, from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr, from some of our companions, from Abu Sa’eed, the lessor, that he said: We were at the place of Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, and it was mentioned Zaid and those who went out (in rebellion) along with him. Some from the people of the congregation intended to (verbally) offend him, but Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, repelled him and said:

At ease! It is not (permissible) for you to enter into what is between us, except through a path of goodness. Indeed, no soul from us dies, except that happiness catches up to him before his soul goes out, even if by (the amount of) a hiccup of a camel. He said: And what is the hiccup of a camel? He said: Its milk.
