Chapter on the Prayer over the Dead

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلْمَاضِي عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ لِكَمْ يُصَلَّى عَلَى اَلصَّبِيِّ إِذَا بَلَغَ مِنَ اَلسِّنِينَ وَ اَلشُّهُورِ قَالَ« يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَسْقُطَ لِغَيْرِ تَمَامٍ»
From him, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from a man from Abu al-Hasan al-Madi عليه السلام said: I said to Imam عليه السلام: “For how old is a child prayed over (for Salat Al Mayyit), if he has reached a certain number of years or months?” Imam عليه السلام said: “The funeral prayer is performed over him in every case, unless he is miscarried before completion (birth).”
