Isma'il ibn Jarir said: “I thought that when my camel and I fell down hard, it was the punishment for a sin I had committed before. One day when I went to see Imam Sadiq (a.s), before I said something Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Jacob got sick but did not ask his Lord for remedy. He had not getten sick due to having committed any sins. Some people came to visit him but he smelled so bad that their horses would not come near him. One of them yelled: “O' Jacob! You would not have suffered this way if you had not committed any sins.” At this time Jacob called his Lord and God cured him.”
