Chapter on Guiding the Dying, Positioning Them at Death, Procedures for Their Final Moments, Washing Them, and Placing Them in Shrouds
مَا أَخْبَرَنِي بِهِ 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 أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ اَلنَّصْرَانِيِّ يَكُونُ فِي اَلسَّفَرِ وَ هُوَ مَعَ اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ فَيَمُوتُ قَالَ« لاَ يُغَسِّلُهُ مُسْلِمٌ وَ لاَ كَرَامَةَ وَ لاَ يَدْفِنُهُ وَ لاَ يَقُومُ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ أَبَاهُ».
The Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, reported from Abu Ja'far Muhammad bin Ali, from Muhammad bin Al-Hasan, from Muhammad bin Yahya, from Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Yahya, from Ahmad bin Al-Hasan bin Ali bin Faddal, from Amr bin Sa'id, from Musaddiq bin Sadaqa, from Ammar bin Musa, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام:
Imam عليه السلام was asked about a Christian who is traveling with Muslims and dies. Imam عليه السلام said: A Muslim should neither wash him, nor show him any honor, nor bury him, nor stand by his grave, even if the deceased was his own father.
