Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 3|Book 1|Chapter 21
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ بَكْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى اَلْمَرْأَةِ فَقُمْ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهَا وَ إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى اَلرَّجُلِ فَقُمْ عِنْدَ صَدْرِهِ»
Muhammad ibn Yaqub from a number of our companions from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr from Musa ibn Bakr from Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام, peace be upon him, he said:
Imam al-Kadhim عليه السلام said: “When you perform the prayer (of deceased) over a woman, stand at her head, and when you perform the prayer (of deceased) over a man, stand at his chest.”
