The Chasan Sofer was niftar at 48 years old, acquiring the 48 kinyanim for the Torah, being a grandson of the Chasam Sofer, Rav Shmuel Ehrenfeld ztz’l named after the son in law of the Chasam Sofer, Rav David Tzvi Erherenfeld ztz’l marrying his daugther Hindel or an acronym of Chudushei Neched Sofer. He is the grandfather of my rebbi, Rav Shmuel Eherenfeld ztz’l, the Matersdorfer Rav. She explained that the tziporas hakromim says in Perek Shira מאין יבא עזרי. This is bird when killed and its oil is applied to the forehead helps against shikcha, forgetting but there is a better solution by learning 101 times, so מאין adds up to 101 which will protect it from getting killed. When the Chasan Sofer was learning, he held a candle and fell asleep. The gemora he learned caught fire and the Chasam Sofer came in a dream to the daughter, telling her to hurry because her son is in danger, They have the gemora to this very day.
