سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْوَلِيدِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَمْرٍو[ عَمْرٍو خ ل] عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ اَلْعَنْبَرِيِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلرَّجُلُ يَدْفِنُ اِبْنَهُ فَقَالَ« لاَ يَدْفِنُهُ فِي اَلتُّرَابِ» قَالَ قُلْتُ فَالاِبْنُ يَدْفِنُ أَبَاهُ قَالَ« نَعَمْ لاَ بَأْسَ».
Sahl ibn Ziyad narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Walid, from Yahya ibn ‘Amr, from ‘Abdullah ibn Rashid, from ‘Abdullah al-‘Anbari:
He said: I asked Abu ‘Abdullah عليه السلام, "Can a man bury his son?" Imam عليه السلام said: "No, he should not bury him in the soil." I asked: "What about a son burying his father?" Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes, there is no harm in that."
