عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلصَّلْتِ عَنِ اِبْنِ بِنْتِ إِلْيَاسَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ:« اَلْمَرْأَةُ إِذَا مَاتَتْ مَعَ اَلرِّجَالِ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا اِمْرَأَةً تُغَسِّلُهَا غَسَّلَهَا بَعْضُ اَلرِّجَالِ مِنْ وَرَاءِ اَلثَّوْبِ وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ يَلُفَّ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ خِرْقَةً».
Ali ibn al-Husayn narrated from Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn 'Ali, from 'Abdullah ibn al-Salt, from Ibn Bint Ilyas, from 'Abdullah ibn Sinan, who said:
I heard Abu 'Abdullah عليه السلام, say: "If a woman dies among men and they do not find a woman to wash her, then one of the men should wash her from behind a cloth, and it is recommended that he wraps a cloth around his hands."
