The old man said to him, “You revived me, and I pray to Allah to give you life.” He (the father) was told in his dream to ask his son about what he had done.

Someone in his dream, again, told him that Allah has protected your son from dying because of his good treatment of the old man.’” شهور - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (16/131))
