Chapter on Instructing the Dying (Talqin al-Muhtadarin)

Sa'd ibn 'Abdullah narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn ibn Abi al-Khattab, from Muhammad ibn Aslam al-Jabali, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Salim and 'Ali ibn Abi Hamzah, from Abu Basir, who said: I asked Abu 'Abdillah عليه السلام, about a woman who died during a journey, and there were no other women or any mahram (close male relative) with her. Imam عليه السلام replied: "The parts of her body required for wudu (ablution) should be washed, then she should be prayed upon and buried."
