عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ اَلْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: «إِذَا مَاتَ اَلرَّجُلُ مَعَ اَلنِّسَاءِ غَسَّلَتْهُ اِمْرَأَتُهُ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنِ اِمْرَأَتُهُ مَعَهُ غَسَّلَتْهُ أَوْلاَهُنَّ بِهِ وَ تَلُفُّ عَلَى يَدَيْهَا خِرْقَةً».
Narrated from him, from Abu Ja'far, from Al-Hasan ibn 'Ali Al-Washsha', from 'Abdullah ibn Sinan, who said:
I heard Abu 'Abdillah عليه السلام, say: "If a man dies among women, his wife should wash him. If his wife is not present, then the woman who is most closely related to him should wash him, and she should wrap a cloth around her hands."
