سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ إِذَا مَاتَ لِأَحَدِكُمْ مَيِّتٌ فَسَجُّوهُ تُجَاهَ الْقِبْلَةِ وَ كَذَلِكَ إِذَا غُسِّلَ يُحْفَرُ لَهُ مَوْضِعُ الْمُغْتَسَلِ تُجَاهَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَيَكُونُ مُسْتَقْبِلًا بِبَاطِنِ قَدَمَيْهِ وَ وَجْهِهِ إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Suleyman Bin Khalid who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘When one of your dying one dies, so shroud him to face towards the Qiblah; and similarly, when you wash him, dig up for him a place for the washing to face towards the Qiblah, so that he would happen to face it with the undersides of his feet and his face, towards the Qiblah’.
