أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ وَأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالاَ:« لاَ يُقَرَّبُ اَلْمَيِّتُ مَاءً حَمِيماً».
Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa narrated from his father, from ‘Abdullah ibn al-Mughirah, from a man, from Abu Ja‘far and Abu ‘Abdullah عليه السلام: The Imams عليه السلام said: "Boiling water should not be brought near the deceased."
