Chapter on Instructing the Dying (Talqin al-Muhtadarin)

Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya, from al-Hasan ibn al-Husayn al-Lu’lu’i, from Abu Dawud al-Munshid, from Salamah, from Mughira, the muezzin of Banu Adi, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: Imam عليه السلام said: "Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام, washed the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, peace be upon him and his family. He عليه السلام began with sidr (lote-tree leaves). The second washing was with three mithqals of camphor and one mithqal of musk. For the third washing, He عليه السلام called for a water skin with its head tied, and poured it over him. Then He (Imam Ali عليه السلام) shrouded Him (The Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم), peace be upon him."
