And from Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘A Prophet-as from the Prophets-as of the Children of Israel passed by a man, part of him was (crushed) under a wall and part of him was outside from it. So, whatever was outside from it, the birds had poked it and the dogs had torn it. Then he-as went on and came to a city, so he-as entered it, there was a great one from its great ones who had died upon a bed, which had been decorated with the brocade, and they were burning incense around him.
So he-as said: ‘O Lord-azwj! You-azwj are a Just Judge, not being tyrannous. That was Your-azwj servant who had not associated with You-azwj even for the blink of an eye, You-azwj Caused him to die with that death; and this here is You-azwj servant who did not believe in You-azwj even for the blink of an eye, You-azwj Caused him to die by this death?’
So Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “My-azwj servant! I-azwj am Just as you-as said it, a Just Judge not being tyrannous. That servant of Mine-azwj had an evil deed and a sin in My-azwj Presence, therefore I-azwj Caused him to die with that death, so that he would meet Me-azwj, and there would not remain anything upon him. And this one is My-azwj what had a good deed for him in My-azwj Presence, therefore I-azwj Caused him to die with this death, so that he would meet Me-azwj, and there wouldn’t be anything for him in My-azwj Presence”’.
