155. וַהֲרֵי עַכְשָׁו הָיוּ עֲתִידִים לָבֹא אֵלֶיךָ שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר צַדִּיקִים מֵהַחֲבֵרִים, וְעַד שֶׁהָיוּ יוֹצְאִים הִתְעוֹרֵר קוֹל בְּכָל הָעוֹלָמוֹת: מִי הֵם הַחֲבֵרִים [הַשְּׁבִילִים] שֶׁעוֹמְדִים כָּאן? הִתְעַטְּרוּ בִּשְׁבִיל רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן, בַּקָּשָׁה בִּקֵּשׁ וְנִתְּנָה לוֹ.

#154
He asked his father, “How is my place in the world of truth?”. He replied, they hastily prepared your resting chamber for three days. They arranged open windows to provide light from all four directions. I saw your place and rejoiced, thinking, ‘Fortunate is your lot, my son.’ The only thing that saddened me was that your son has not yet achieved merit in the Torah.
#155
He continues to say, now, twelve Tzadikim from among the friends were about to come to you. As they were departing, a voice awakened in all the worlds, asking, ‘Who are these friends standing here?’ They were honored for Rabbi Shimon, who made a request to the Holy One, Blessed be He, that Rabbi Yitzchak should not die, and his request was granted.
