Chapter on the Prayer over the Dead

عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلنَّضْرِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يَقُومُ مِنَ اَلرَّجُلِ بِحِيَالِ اَلسُّرَّةِ وَ مِنَ اَلنِّسَاءِ أَدْوَنَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَبْلَ اَلصَّدْرِ»
Ali ibn al-Hasan from Ahmad ibn Idris from Muhammad ibn Salim from Ahmad ibn al-Nadr from Amr ibn Shimr from Jabir from Abu Ja’far عليه السلام, peace be upon him, he said: Imam al-Baqir عليه السلام said: “The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family, used to stand (for Salat Al Mayyit) in the case of a man; opposite the navel, and in the case of women; lower than that, before the chest.”
