مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُغَسِّلُ اِمْرَأَتَهُ قَالَ« نَعَمْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ اَلثِّيَابِ».
Muhammad ibn Yahya narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn, from Safwan, from Al-Ala, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, who said:
I asked Imam عليه السلام about a man washing his wife’s body (if she dies and there is no other woman present to wash her). Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes, from behind the clothes."
