سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَمُوتُ وَ لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ مَنْ يُغَسِّلُهُ إِلَّا النِّسَاءُ هَلْ تُغَسِّلُهُ النِّسَاءُ فَقَالَ تُغَسِّلُهُ امْرَأَتُهُ أَوْ ذَاتُ مَحْرَمِهِ وَ تَصُبُّ عَلَيْهِ النِّسَاءُ الْمَاءَ صَبّاً مِنْ فَوْقِ الثِّيَابِ .
Translation
Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al Hassan Bin Muhammad Al Kindy, from someone else, from Aban Bin Usman, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Abdullah who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the man who is dying and there is no one in his presence who can wash him except for the women. Can the women wash him?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘His wife should wash him, or the one with sanctity (one he cannot be married to), and the (other) women would pour water with a pouring from above the clothes’.
