Chapter on Guiding the Dying, Positioning Them at Death, Procedures for Their Final Moments, Washing Them, and Placing Them in Shrouds
فَأَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْجَوْزَاءِ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُلْوَانَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ زَيْدٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ:« إِذَا مَاتَ اَلشَّهِيدُ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ أَوْ مِنَ اَلْغَدِ فَوَارُوهُ فِي ثِيَابِهِ وَ إِنْ بَقِيَ أَيَّاماً حَتَّى تَتَغَيَّرَ جِرَاحَتُهُ غُسِّلَ».
Narrated by Muhammad bin Ahmad, from Abu Ja'far, from Abu Al-Jawza, from Al-Husayn bin 'Alwan, from 'Amr bin Khalid, from Zayd, from his forefathers, from (Imam) Ali عليه السلام:
Imam Ali عليه السلام said that the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, said: "If a martyr dies on the same day or the next day, then bury him in his clothes. However, if he remains for several days until his wounds begin to decompose, he should be washed."
