Commentary for Avodah Zarah 20:15
יצתה בת קול ואמרה קטיעה בר שלום מזומן לחיי העוה"ב בכה רבי ואמר יש קונה עולמו בשעה אחת ויש קונה עולמו בכמה שנים
A bat-kol then exclaimed: “Keti’ah b. Shalom is destined for [eternal] life in the world to come!” Rabbi wept, saying: “Some acquire eternity in a single hour, others acquire it after many years!”
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
A heavenly voice goes out and states that Keti’ah has earned his right to heaven in a single moment. While others toil all of their lives to earn their space in heaven, Keti’ah does so with one single act.
