Chapter on Guiding the Dying, Positioning Them at Death, Procedures for Their Final Moments, Washing Them, and Placing Them in Shrouds
وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى مُرْسَلاً قَالَ رُوِيَ: فِي اَلْجَارِيَةِ تَمُوتُ مَعَ اَلرَّجُلِ فَقَالَ« إِذَا كَانَتْ بِنْتَ أَقَلَّ مِنْ خَمْسِ سِنِينَ أَوْ سِتٍّ دُفِنَتْ وَ لَمْ تُغَسَّلْ».
Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya narrated, as a mursal report, that it was reported regarding a young girl who dies while in the presence of a man. Imam عليه السلام said: “If she is less than five or six years old, she is buried without being washed.”
