From where do we know this? “...If a man dies and he has no son, and you will pass (veha'avartem) his inheritance...” and “evrah” means a day of anger, as in “...a day of anger...”
But is it a son or a student? Since Rabbi Yochanan lost his ten sons and would console people with “...look, this is a bone of my last son...” - it must be that he meant a student, for otherwise he would not publicize that God is angry with him. Then why did he say “son?” - These were the words of his teacher, but he himself felt that a man must leave a student.
