Chapter on Guiding the Dying, Positioning Them at Death, Procedures for Their Final Moments, Washing Them, and Placing Them in Shrouds
وَأَخْبَرَنِي جَمَاعَةٌ عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِي اَلْعَبَّاسِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ وَأَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبْدُونٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ صَبِيحٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ اَلْعَرْزَمِيِّ عَنْ ثُوَيْرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ سَعْدَانَ عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُقَيْرٍ اَلْحَضْرَمِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ:« إِنَّ لِكُلِّ بَيْتٍ بَاباً وَ إِنَّ بَابَ اَلْقَبْرِ مِنْ قِبَلِ اَلرِّجْلَيْنِ».
A group of narrators informed me from Abu Muhammad Harun ibn Musa, from Abu al-‘Abbas Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from ‘Ali ibn al-Hasan. And Ahmad ibn ‘Abdun informed me from ‘Ali ibn Muhammad ibn al-Zubayr, from ‘Ali ibn al-Hasan ibn Faddal, from Ahmad ibn Sabih, from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Muhammad al-‘Arzami, from Thuwair ibn Yazid, from Khalid ibn Sa‘dan, from Jubayr ibn Nuqayr al-Hadrami:
Imam عليه السلام said: The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family) said: "Indeed, every house has a door, and the door of the grave is from the side of the feet."
