It was taught:
Rabbi​ Yishmael the son of Elisha said:
One time I went to burn incense in the inner sanctuary​ and inside I saw Aktariel Yah the Lord of Hosts who was sitting on a high and mighty chair.
And the Lord said to me, Yishmael,​ my son, bless me.
And I said, "May it be your will before you that your mercy conquers your anger, and that your mercy prevails over your other attribute​​s, and that you act towards your children with the attribute​​ of mercy, and that you judge them leniently​ ("bring them before the line of the law").
The Lord nodded with his head.
