May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Some people, during a dispute, say, "Tell me when the calamity strikes you, so I can laugh at Allah’s vengeance upon you."

The Shaykh:
His fast and the condition of his fast. Fasting before the judge, meaning. Or during the argument, you mean during the calamity, not the dispute.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says:

No, give us the equivalent of this for the calamity, yes.
