عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ بْنِ بُرَيْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« غُسْلُ اَلْمَيِّتِ مِثْلُ غُسْلِ اَلْجُنُبِ وَإِنْ كَانَ كَثِيرَ اَلشَّعْرِ فَزِدْ عَلَيْهِ اَلْمَاءَ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ».
Ali ibn al-Husayn narrated from Abdullah ibn Ja'far, from Ibrahim ibn Mahziyar, from Fadalah ibn Ayyub, from Al-Qasim ibn Buraid, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, who said:
Abu Ja'far عليه السلام said: "The washing (ghusl) of the deceased is like the washing (ghusl) of one in a state of janabah. If the deceased has a lot of hair, then add water to it three times."
