8. [8/366] al-Kafi: Ali b. Muhammad b. Abdallah from Ahmad b. Muhammad from more than one from Ali b. Asbat from al-Hasan b. Jahm who said: Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام said: Abu Ja’farعليه السلام said:

A man from the Children of Israel had a son whom he used to love very much. He had a vision in his sleep and it was said to him: ‘Your son will die the very night that he enters upon his wife (i.e. on the wedding night)’. He (the Imam) said: when it was that night, and he consummated with her, the father believed that will happen, but he woke up finding his son well. His father came to him and said: O my son did you do anything of the good yesterday? He said: No. Except that a beggar came to the door and they had kept preserved for me some food and I gave it to the beggar. He (the father) said: Through this did Allah avert it (death) from you.
