Chapter on Guiding the Dying, Positioning Them at Death, Procedures for Their Final Moments, Washing Them, and Placing Them in Shrouds
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُوسَى اَلْخَشَّابِ عَنْ غِيَاثِ بْنِ كَلُّوبٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ: «أَنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَجَدَ قِطَعاً مِنْ مَيِّتٍ فَجَمَعَهَا ثُمَّ صَلَّى عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ دُفِنَتْ».
Through this chain of transmission, from Sahl bin Ziyad, from Abdullah bin Al-Husayn, from some of his companions, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام:
Imam عليه السلام said: If a person is cut into two halves, the funeral prayer is performed on the part that contains the heart.
