وَ عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلسَّيَّارِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ اَلْجَزِيرَةِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يُصَلَّى عَلَى اَلْمَدْفُونِ بَعْدَ مَا يُدْفَنُ قَالَ« لاَ لَوْ جَازَ لِأَحَدٍ لَجَازَ لِرَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ قَالَ« بَلْ لاَ يُصَلَّى عَلَى اَلْمَدْفُونِ وَ لاَ عَلَى اَلْعُرْيَانِ»
And from him, from al-Sayyari, from Muhammad ibn Aslam, from a man from the people of al-Jazirah, who said:
I asked Imam al-Ridha عليه السلام, peace be upon him: “Is it permissible to pray (Salat Al Mayyit) over the one who has been buried, after he has been buried?” Imam عليه السلام said: “No. If it had been permissible for anyone, it would have been permissible for the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family.” Imam عليه السلام said: “Rather, one does not pray (Salat Al Mayyit) over the (already) buried, nor over the naked.” (meaning a deceased body that has exposed private parts)
