عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ أَخِيهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي جَنَائِزِ اَلرِّجَالِ وَاَلصِّبْيَانِ وَاَلنِّسَاءِ قَالَ «تُوضَعُ اَلنِّسَاءُ مِمَّا يَلِي اَلْقِبْلَةَ وَ اَلصِّبْيَانُ دُونَهُنَّ وَ اَلرِّجَالُ دُونَ ذَلِكَ وَ يَقُومُ اَلْإِمَامُ مِمَّا يَلِي اَلرِّجَالَ»
Ali ibn al-Husayn, from Abdillah ibn Ja’far, from Ibrahim ibn Mahziyar, from his brother Ali ibn Mahziyar, from al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Faddal, from Ibn Bukayr, from some of his companions, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام:
Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام was asked regarding the funerals of men, children, and women. Imam عليه السلام said: “The women are placed closest to the qiblah (furthest from the imam of prayer), the children below them, and the men below that, and the imam (of prayer) stands closest to the men.”
