Chapter on Guiding the Dying, Positioning Them at Death, Procedures for Their Final Moments, Washing Them, and Placing Them in Shrouds
أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْجَارُودِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُتَوَفَّى أَتُقَلَّمُ أَظَافِيرُهُ أَوْ يُنْتَفُ إِبْطَاهُ أَوْ يُحْلَقُ عَانَتُهُ إِنْ طَالَ بِهِ مَرَضٌ قَالَ« لاَ».
Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa narrated from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id, from Faddalah, from Aban ibn ‘Uthman, from Abu al-Jarud:
He said: I asked Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام about a man who dies - should his nails be trimmed, his armpits plucked, or his pubic hair shaved if he had been ill for a long time? Imam عليه السلام said: "No."
