وَ بِهَذَا اَلْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «إِذَا وُسِّطَ اَلرَّجُلُ بِنِصْفَيْنِ صُلِّيَ عَلَى اَلَّذِي فِيهِ اَلْقَلْبُ».
Through chain of transmission, from Sahl bin Ziyad, from Abdullah bin Al-Husayn, from some companions
Abu Abdullah عليه السلام said: “If a person is cut into two halves, the funeral prayer is performed on the part that contains the heart.”
