إِذَا أَرَدْتَ غُسْلَ الْمَيِّتِ فَاجْعَلْ بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَهُ ثَوْباً يَسْتُرُ عَنْكَ عَوْرَتَهُ إِمَّا قَمِيصٌ وَ إِمَّا غَيْرُهُ ثُمَّ تَبْدَأُ بِكَفَّيْهِ وَ رَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ بِالسِّدْرِ ثُمَّ سَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ وَ ابْدَأْ بِشِقِّهِ الْأَيْمَنِ فَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَغْسِلَ فَرْجَهُ فَخُذْ خِرْقَةً نَظِيفَةً فَلُفَّهَا عَلَى يَدِكَ الْيُسْرَى ثُمَّ أَدْخِلْ يَدَكَ مِنْ تَحْتِ الثَّوْبِ الَّذِي عَلَى فَرْجِ الْمَيِّتِ فَاغْسِلْهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تَرَى عَوْرَتَهُ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْ غُسْلِهِ بِالسِّدْرِ فَاغْسِلْهُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى بِمَاءٍ وَ كَافُورٍ وَ شَيْءٍ مِنْ حَنُوطِهِ ثُمَّ اغْسِلْهُ بِمَاءٍ بَحْتٍ غَسْلَةً أُخْرَى حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ جَعَلْتَهُ فِي ثَوْبٍ ثُمَّ جَفَّفْتَهُ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘When you want to wash the deceased, so make a cloth to be between you and him to veil his private part from you, whether it is a shirt or something else. Then begin with his palm and his head (washing it) three times with the lotus (leaves), then the rest of his body, and beginning with the right hand side. So when you intend to wash his private part, then take a clean rag and wrap it around your right hand, then enter your hand from beneath the cloth which is upon the private part of the deceased, and wash it from without seeing his nakedness. So when you are free from washing him with the lotus (leaves), then wash him again with water and camphor, and something from his embalming. Then wash him with pure water with another washing until when you are free from the three (washings), then make him to be in a cloth, then enshroud him’.
