Chapter on Guiding the Dying, Positioning Them at Death, Procedures for Their Final Moments, Washing Them, and Placing Them in Shrouds
أَخْبَرَنِي اَلشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اَللَّهُ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْقَاسِمِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا قَالَ: لَمَّا قُبِضَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَمَرَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِالسِّرَاجِ فِي اَلْبَيْتِ اَلَّذِي كَانَ يَسْكُنُهُ حَتَّى قُبِضَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ أَبُو اَلْحَسَنِ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ حَتَّى أُخْرِجَ بِهِ إِلَى اَلْعِرَاقِ ثُمَّ لاَ أَدْرِي مَاكَانَ.
The Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, narrated to me from Abu Al-Qasim Ja’far bin Muhammad, from Muhammad bin Ya’qub, from a group of our companions, from Sahl bin Ziyad, from Uthman bin Isa, from a group of our companions, who said:
When Abu Ja’far عليه السلام passed away, Abu Abdullah عليه السلام ordered that a lamp be kept lit in the house where he had lived until Abu Abdullah عليه السلام himself passed away. Then Abu Al-Hasan Musa عليه السلام gave the same order for the house of Abu Abdullah عليه السلام until his body was taken to Iraq. After that, I do not know what happened.
