أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ وَ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: فِي اَلرَّجُلِ وَ اَلْمَرْأَةِ كَيْفَ يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهِمَا فَقَالَ« يُجْعَلُ اَلرَّجُلُ وَ اَلْمَرْأَةُ وَ يَكُونُ اَلرَّجُلُ مِمَّا يَلِي اَلْإِمَامَ»
Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr, from Hammad, from Zurarah and al-Halabi:
Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام was asked regarding a man and a woman (together), how is the funeral prayer performed over them? Imam عليه السلام said: “The man and the woman are placed together, and the man is positioned closest to the imam (of prayer).” (meaning Infront of the imam of prayer)
