Chapter on Guiding the Dying, Positioning Them at Death, Procedures for Their Final Moments, Washing Them, and Placing Them in Shrouds

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ تَمُوتُ وَ وَلَدُهَا فِي بَطْنِهَا يَتَحَرَّكُ قَالَ« يُشَقُّ عَنِ اَلْوَلَدِ».
Ahmad ibn Muhammad narrated from Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Yaqtin, from his brother Al-Husayn, from Ali ibn Yaqtin, who said: I asked Abu al-Hasan Musa عليه السلام, about a woman who dies while her child is still moving in her womb. Imam عليه السلام said: "Her abdomen should be cut open to remove the child."
