Stories of Rav Mas'oud Abuchatzeira zt"l
On the day when Rav Masoud passed on and was buried, a terrible thing occurred: the local goyim, jealous of the honor and respect accorded the Rav at the large levaya, opened his freshly dug grave and dishonored the body. Needless to say, the family was greatly upset and disturbed. That night, Rav Masoud appeared to his son Rav Dovid in a dream and told him, “Know, my son, that you should not be troubled by this. The reason this occurred was because among those people who attended to me after I died was a Jew whose name was such-and-such, and he washed my feet during the tahara. On that day, he had engaged in such-and-such a sin and its stain besmirched me and caused this to happen.”
After the dream, Rav Dovid researched the matter and the dream was revealed to be true. (Malchei Rabbonon)
