Washing of the Deceased
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 24
وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «فِي اَلْمَيِّتِ تَدْمَعُ عَيْنَاهُ عِنْدَ اَلْمَوْتِ وَ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ عِنْدَ مُعَايَنَةِ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَيَرَى مَا يَسُرُّهُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَ مَا تَرَى اَلرَّجُلَ يَرَى مَا يَسُرُّهُ وَ مَا يُحِبُّ فَتَدْمَعُ عَيْنَاهُ وَ يَضْحَكُ.
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "When a believer is at the moment of death, tears may come to their eyes because, at that moment, they witness the presence of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and they see what pleases them." Then Imam عليه السلام said: "Do you not see that when a person sees what delights and pleases them, tears come to their eyes and they smile?"
