Chapter on Guiding the Dying, Positioning Them at Death, Procedures for Their Final Moments, Washing Them, and Placing Them in Shrouds

عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلصَّلْتِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ بْنِ رَزِينٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ وَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُمَا عَنِ اَلْمُحْرِمِ كَيْفَ يُصْنَعُ بِهِ إِذَا مَاتَ قَالاَ «يُغَطَّى وَجْهُهُ وَ يُصْنَعُ بِهِ كَمَا يُصْنَعُ بِالْحَلاَلِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لاَ يُقَرَّبُ طِيباً».
Narrated from Ali bin Al-Husayn, from Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Ali, from Abdullah bin Al-Salt, from Safwan, from Al-Ala bin Razin, from Muhammad bin Muslim, from Abu Ja'far and Abu Abdullah عليه السلام. He said: "I asked them عليه السلام about a person in the state of ihram (a pilgrim observing sacred rites) who dies. The Imams عليه السلام said: 'His face is covered, and he is treated like a non-pilgrim except that no perfume is applied to him.'"
