Prediction about the cure of one son and demise of the other

It is narrated from Saif bin Laith that he said:

He wrote back to me in reply:
“Your son has recovered but your elder son, the executor of your will and the supervisor over your family has died. Pay thanks to Allah; do not be impatient, lest your rewards will be withheld.”
The news came to me that my son who was ill has recovered and my elder son passed away on the day I received reply from Imam Hasan Askari (a).
