דוגמאות

“רָחַץ לַיְלָה הָרִאשׁוֹן שֶׁמֵּתָה אִשְׁתּוֹ. אָמְרוּ לוֹ תַלְמִידָיו, ״לֹא לִמַּדְתָּנוּ, רַבֵּנוּ, שֶׁאָבֵל אָסוּר לִרְחֹץ!?״ .אָמַר לָהֶם, ״אֵינִי כִשְׁאָר כָּל אָדָם, אִסְטְנִיס אָנִי.״”

He washed the first night after his wife died. His students said to him, "Didn't you teach us, rabbi, that a mourner is forbidden from washing!?" He said to them, "I'm not like everyone else. I'm a delicate person."

“וְאוֹתוֹ תַּלְמִיד אִיסְטְנִיס הָיָה, וְלֹא רָצָה לִשְׁתּוֹת, וּמֵת בַּצָּמָא”

And that student was a squeamish person and did not want to drink, and died of thirst.
