Fintán had this gift that he used to know the death day of every man of his community, and he said to a strong man whose death was approaching:
‘Behold, the time has arrived for you to go to heaven’.
And thus, on the third day, that man went to heaven. And Fintán said to a man who was lying in bed for a long time:
‘Arise and do the work of that man who has died’.
And that sick man arose at once, strong and healthy, and went to work with the brethren.
