Tosefta zu Könige I 13:28

“Similar to this [it says], 'They (i.e. Mishael and Eltzafan) came forth and carried them (i.e. Nadav and Avihu) in their tunics outside of the camp…’ (Leviticus 10:5) Is not this a Kal Vechomer (a derivation from minor to major)? Just like at the time when [God] is angry [at] the righteous [people, He still] has mercy on them, then at the time [of God’s] mercy, how much more so. Similar to this [it says] ‘… the lion had not eaten the corpse and did not maul the donkey.’ (I Kings 13:28) Is not this a Kal Vechomer (a derivation from minor to major)? Just like at the time when [God] is angry [at] the righteous [people, He still] has mercy on them, then at the time [of God’s] mercy, how much more so.”
