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

Narrated by the Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, from Abu Al-Qasim Ja'far bin Muhammad, from Muhammad bin Ya'qub, from a group of our companions, from Sahl bin Ziyad, from Muhammad bin Al-Hasan bin Shammun, from Abdullah bin Abdur-Rahman, from Misma’ Kardin, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: Imam عليه السلام said: “The one who is stoned to death, whether male or female, must perform Ghusl (ritual washing), apply Hanoot (camphor), and wear the Kafan (shroud) before the punishment is carried out. Then, they are stoned and prayed upon. Similarly, the one from whom Qisas (legal retribution) is exacted must also perform Ghusl, apply Hanoot, and wear the Kafan before the punishment is carried out, and then they are prayed upon.”
