عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَكَمِ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« لاَ بَأْسَ بِأَنْ يُقَدَّمَ اَلرَّجُلُ وَ تُؤَخَّرَ اَلْمَرْأَةُ وَ تُقَدَّمَ اَلْمَرْأَةُ وَ يُؤَخَّرَ اَلرَّجُلُ يَعْنِي فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ عَلَى اَلْمَيِّتِ»
Ali ibn al-Husayn, from Sa’ad ibn Abdillah, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Ali ibn al-Hakam and Muhammad ibn Isma'il ibn Bazi', from Hisham ibn Salim, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said:
Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “There is no harm if the man is placed in front, and the woman behind, Or the woman is placed in front, and the man behind” (meaning in the funeral prayer over the deceased).
