Washing of the Deceased

Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 24
وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «مَنْ غَسَّلَ مَيِّتاً فَسَتَرَ وَ كَتَمَ خَرَجَ مِنَ اَلذُّنُوبِ كَيَوْمَ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ.
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "Whoever washes a deceased person and conceals and keeps secret what they see, they will emerge from their sins like the day their mother gave birth to them."
