Chapter on Guiding the Dying, Positioning Them at Death, Procedures for Their Final Moments, Washing Them, and Placing Them in Shrouds
أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« إِذَا وُجِدَ اَلرَّجُلُ قَتِيلاً فَإِنْ وُجِدَ لَهُ عُضْوٌ مِنْ أَعْضَائِهِ تَامٌّ صُلِّيَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ اَلْعُضْوِ وَ دُفِنَ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يُوجَدْ لَهُ عُضْوٌ تَامٌّ لَمْ يُصَلَّ عَلَيْهِ وَ دُفِنَ».
Ahmad bin Muhammad, from Muhammad bin Khalid, from someone who narrated it, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام:
Imam عليه السلام said: “If a man is found killed, and a complete limb of his body is found, then a funeral prayer is performed for that limb, and it is buried. However, if no complete limb is found, no prayer is performed, and it is buried.”
