It has been related by Imam Jaffer Sadiq (A.S.) that Nabi Issa (a.s.) was once told by people that a certain girl was getting married. When they mentioned her name, he said that she was going to die on her wedding night.

The morning after the wedding they found the bride still alive. When they asked Nabi Issa (a.s.) as to why his predictions were not correct, the prophet asked to see the bride, and asked whether she had done some good act on the wedding night.

The bride replied that there was a beggar who used to beg every Friday night outside the house. On the wedding night, he came to beg as usual and because nobody bothered with him, she got up and went to give him some charity.

Nabi Issa (a.s.) asked her to look at a pile of clothes which lay in her room. When the bride tried to look beneath the pile of clothes she found a scorpion. That's when Nabi Issa (a.s) remarked that due to the good act, she had been saved from death. (LIAALIL AKHBAAR PAGE 82)
