أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ اَلْجَوْهَرِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« يُغَسِّلُ اَلزَّوْجُ اِمْرَأَتَهُ فِي اَلسَّفَرِ وَ اَلْمَرْأَةُ زَوْجَهَا فِي اَلسَّفَرِ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُمْ رَجُلٌ».
Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Al-Husayn ibn Sa'id, from Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad Al-Jawhari, from Ali, from Abu Basir, said:
Abu Abdullah عليه السلام said: "A husband may wash his wife (who dies) during travel, and a wife may wash her husband (who dies) during travel, if there is no other with them."
