أَخْبَرَنِي اَلشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْجَوْزَاءِ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُلْوَانَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَ: أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يَحْتَرِقُ بِالنَّارِ فَأَمَرَهُمْ« أَنْ يَصُبُّوا عَلَيْهِ اَلْمَاءَ صَبّاً وَأَنْ يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ».

Imam عليه السلام ordered them "to pour water over him and to perform the prayer for him."
