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

Narrated with this chain from Muhammad bin Ya'qub, from Ali bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad, from Hariz, from Isma'il bin Jabir and Zurara, from Abu Ja'far عليه السلام: I asked Imam عليه السلام: "How did you see the martyr being buried in his blood?" Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes, he is buried in his clothes with his blood. He is neither embalmed nor washed, and he is buried as he is." Then Imam عليه السلام said: "The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, buried his uncle Hamzah عليه السلام in his clothes with the blood in which he was wounded. Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, put a cloak on him عليه السلام, but it fell short of covering his legs, so he called for idhkhir (a type of plant) and placed it over his legs. He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم prayed over Him عليه السلام seventy prayers and seventy takbirs."
