11. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn ‘Uramah from Nadr ibn Suwayd from Drust ibn abu Mansur from ibn Muskan from certain individuals of our people from abu Ja’far who has said the following: “A prophet of the prophets among the descendents of Israel once passed by a man. Half of the body of the man was under the wall and the other half out of the wall. The birds had scattered it and dogs had chewed it up. Then he came to a city where the chief had passed away. His body laid in state covered with the most beautiful cloths with a huge crowed around it. He prayed to Allah saying, ‘O Lord, I testify that you make just decisions, and do not do injustice. That servant of Your’s never considered anything as your partner, even for a blinking of an eye, and You caused him to die that kind of death. This servant of You has not believed in You, even for a blinking of an eye, and You have caused him to die this kind of death.’ Allah said, ‘My servant, I am as you said I am. I make decisions with justice and do not do injustice. That servant of Mine had certain sins and I caused him to die that way so he could come in My presence without any sins. This servant of Mine had certain good deeds before Me, thus, I caused him to die this way so he would come in My presence without any good deeds before Me.’”
