عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلدِّهْقَانِ عَنْ أَبِي خَالِدٍ قَالَ: اِغْسِلْ كُلَّ اَلْمَوْتَى اَلْغَرِيقَ وَ أَكِيلَ اَلسَّبُعِ وَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ إِلاَّ مَا قُتِلَ مَا بَيْنَ اَلصَّفَّيْنِ فَإِنْ كَانَ بِهِ رَمَقٌ غُسِلَ وَ إِلاَّ فَلاَ.
Narrated by Ali bin Al-Husayn, from Muhammad bin Yahya, from Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Yahya, from Musa bin Ja'far, from Ali bin Ma'bad, from Ubaydullah bin Al-Dehqan, from Abu Khalid.
He said: "Wash all the dead - whether drowned, devoured by a beast, or any other case - except those killed between the two battle lines. If there is any sign of life in them, they should be washed; otherwise, they should not be washed."
