عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ طَرِيفٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« مَنْ غَسَّلَ مَيِّتاً فَأَدَّى فِيهِ اَلْأَمَانَةَ غُفِرَ لَهُ» قُلْتُ وَ كَيْفَ يُؤَدِّي فِيهِ اَلْأَمَانَةَ قَالَ« لاَ يُخْبِرُ بِمَا رَأَى».
Narrated from him, from his father, from Saif ibn Amira, from Sa'd ibn Tarif, from Abu Ja'far عليه السلام, who said:
Imam عليه السلام said: "Whoever washes a deceased person and fulfills the trust in doing so, his sins will be forgiven." I asked: "How does he fulfill the trust?" He replied: "He does not disclose what he sees."
