Hadith record

2. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad and Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from all from ibn Mahbub from abu Hamzah al-Thumaliy who has narrated the following: “Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said among the Israelites there was a judge who judged with the truth. When his death approached, he said to his woman, ‘When I die, wash my body, shroud me, place me on my bed and cover my head so you do not see anything bad.’ When he died, she followed his instructions and waited for some time; then she opened his face to look at him and found a worm cutting his nostril. She was shocked because of it and at night he came in her dream and asked, ‘Did what you saw shock you?’ She replied, ‘Yes, it shocked me.’ He said, ‘That was because of your brother who had a dispute with another man and they came to me for judgment. Only in my heart, I said, ‘O Lord, make the right to be on his side.’ When they presented their case, the right was on the side of your brother, which I saw clearly in the rules of judgment. Just for what I said in my heart I face the suffering that shocked you even though it was in accordance with the truth.’”
