שקלים-ב

When a גביר who was מזלזל in everything קדוש was riding in his horse driven coach, there was a terrible accident. The horses and the coach toppled down a steep embankment and the גביר was killed. At his funeral, רב דמתא was pressed to say a הספד. “There are all kinds of deaths in the world,” he said. “Apparently, there is a מחלוקת as to the cause of the death of our נפטר. There are those who say the carriage was defective and there are those who blame the horses for going too quickly. אלה ברכב ואלה בסוסים, but I believe it was אצבע אלוקים and thus, אנחנו בשם אלוקינו נזכיר.”
