أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ إِذَا مَاتَتْ فَقَالَ «يُدْخِلُ زَوْجُهَا يَدَهُ تَحْتَ قَمِيصِهَا إِلَى اَلْمَرَافِقِ فَيُغَسِّلُهَا».
Ahmad ibn Muhammad narrated from Ali ibn al-Hakam, from al-Husayn ibn Uthman, from Sama'ah, who said:
I asked Imam عليه السلام about a woman if she died (if she dies and there is no other woman present to wash her). Imam عليه السلام said: "Her husband may insert his hand under her shirt up to the elbows and wash her."
