عَنْهُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلرَّجُلُ يَمُوتُ فِي اَلسَّفَرِ مَعَ اَلنِّسَاءِ لَيْسَ مَعَهُنَّ رَجُلٌ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعْنَ بِهِ قَالَ« يَلْفُفْنَهُ لَفّاً فِي ثِيَابِهِ وَ يَدْفِنَّهُ وَ لاَ يُغَسِّلْنَهُ».
Narrated from him (the narrator) from Sa‘d ibn Abdullah, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, from Ali ibn Ri’ab, from Muhammad ibn Marwan, from Ibn Abi Ya‘fur, who said:
I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a man who dies while traveling with women and there is no man with them. How should they handle his burial? Imam عليه السلام said: "They should wrap him completely in his clothes, bury him, and not wash him."
