Once a certain man wished to disown his children due to their inappropriate behavior, instead bequeathing all his positions to Yonasan Ben Uziel, despite his initial refusal to accept them. Knowing that Shammai would prevent him from giving the inheritance back to the children, insisting that he follow the orders of their dead father, Yonasan Ben Uziel sold a third of the assets, donated a third to the Temple and gave the remaining third back to the children. When confronted by Shammai, Yonasan Ben Uziel responded that just like his sale and donation could not be reverted so too the gift he gave to the children. Shammai was forced to admit defeat. |

Since the Torah on Sinai was given through burning fire, any bird that flew within his four cubits would immediately get burnt by the angles that surrounded him to hear the Torah. Another manifestation of this was any untrue thought occurring as he analyzed Torah would immediately get pushed out of his mind. Additionally any Sage that disagreed with him in Halacha would immediately realize that he was incorrect, without the need for an expanded argument. |
