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

عَنْهُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَسْعَدَةَ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ: «أَنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ لَمْ يَغْسِلْ عَمَّارَ بْنَ يَاسِرٍ وَ لاَ هَاشِمَ بْنَ عُتْبَةَ اَلْمِرْقَالَ وَ دَفَنَهُمَا فِي ثِيَابِهِمَا وَ لَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيْهِمَا».
Narrated by Sa'd bin Abdullah, from Harun bin Muslim, from Mas'adah bin Sadaqah, from Ammar, from Ja'far عليه السلام, from his father عليه السلام: Imam عليه السلام said: "Indeed, (Imam) Ali عليه السلام, did not wash Ammar bin Yasir nor Hashim bin Utbah Al-Mirqal, and Imam عليه السلام buried them in their clothes and did not pray over them."
