Chapter on Guiding the Dying, Positioning Them at Death, Procedures for Their Final Moments, Washing Them, and Placing Them in Shrouds
فَأَمَّا اَلْخَبَرُ اَلَّذِي رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ سِرْحَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يَمُوتُ فِي اَلسَّفَرِ أَوْ فِي اَلْأَرْضِ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ فِيهَا إِلاَّ اَلنِّسَاءُ قَالَ« يُدْفَنُ وَ لاَ يُغَسَّلُ».
As for the report narrated by Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub, from a group of our companions, from Sahl ibn Ziyad, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr, from Dawud ibn Sirhan:
Imam Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, regarding the man who dies during a journey or in a place where there are only women present. Imam عليه السلام said: "He should be buried and not washed."
