Chapter on Guiding the Dying, Positioning Them at Death, Procedures for Their Final Moments, Washing Them, and Placing Them in Shrouds
وَبِهَذَا اَلْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْجَوْزَاءِ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُلْوَانَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« يُنْزَعُ عَنِ اَلشَّهِيدِ اَلْفَرْوُ وَ اَلْخُفُّ وَ اَلْقَلَنْسُوَةُ وَ اَلْعِمَامَةُ وَ اَلْمِنْطَقَةُ وَ اَلسَّرَاوِيلُ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَصَابَهُ دَمٌ فَإِنْ أَصَابَهُ دَمٌ تُرِكَ وَ لاَ يُتْرَكُ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ مَعْقُودٌ إِلاَّ حُلَّ».
Narrated with this chain from Muhammad bin Ya'qub, from a group of our companions, from Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Khalid, from his father, from Abu Al-Jawza, from Al-Husayn bin 'Alwan, from 'Amro bin Khalid, from Zayd bin 'Ali, from his forefathers عليه السلام, who said:
Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام, said: "The fur, footwear, cap, turban, belt, and trousers are removed from the martyr, except if they have been stained with blood. If they are stained with blood, they are left as they are. Nothing that is tied on him should remain; it must be untied."
