Washing of the Deceased

Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 24
وَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «إِنَّكُمْ تُلَقِّنُونَ مَوْتَاكُمْ: لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ عِنْدَ اَلْمَوْتِ وَ نَحْنُ نُلَقِّنُ مَوْتَانَا مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ.
Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام said: "You instruct your deceased to say 'There is no god but Allah سبحانه وتعالى' at the time of death, while we instruct our deceased to say 'Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم.'".
