وَبِهَذَا اَلْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمَيِّتِ فَقَالَ« اِسْتَقْبِلْ بِبَاطِنِ قَدَمَيْهِ اَلْقِبْلَةَ».
And through this chain of transmission, from Muhammad bin Ya’qub, from Humayd bin Ziyad, from Al-Hasan bin Muhammad, from Muhammad bin Abi Hamzah, from Mu’awiyah bin Ammar, who said:
I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about (laying out) the deceased. Imam عليه السلام said: "Position the soles of his feet towards the Qiblah."
