בבא מציעא פג

A prominent and philanthropic Jew in a community was deathly ill and the doctors said that unfortunately there was nothing more that they could do for him. The רב of the community immediately called for the leader of the town’s גנבים. “I’m counting on you to save this man’s life, the רב said. “I want you to gather nine of your colleagues and say תהילים for him.” The גנב agreed to do so and, to everyone’s amazement, the חולה had a miraculous recovery. The רב was asked what caused him to select these גנבים to say תהילים for the חולה. He replied: “Simple. I saw that the שערי רחמים were locked and I knew that these גנבים were בקיאים in picking locks.”
