Al-Kafi 4419

Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Abdul Rahman Bin Salim, from Mufazzal Bin Umar who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah^asws, ‘Who washed Syeda Fatima^asws?’ He^asws said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen^asws’. It was as if I was astonished from his^asws words, so he^asws said to me: ‘It is as if you are constricted from what I^asws informed you’. So I said, ‘It was that, may I be sacrificed for you^asws’. So he^asws said to me: ‘Do not be constricted, for she^asws is a truthful. None could have washed her^asws except for a truthful. Do you not know that Maryam^as, none washed her^as except for Isa^as?’ I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^asws! So what are you^asws saying regarding the woman who happens to be in the journey with the men, there not being anyone with sanctity for her with them, nor is there a woman with them, and the woman dies. What should be done with her?’ He^asws said: ‘He would wash from her what Allah^azwj Obligated the <span class="iTxt">Tayammum</span> upon, and she would neither be touched nor anything being uncovered from her beauty which Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Commanded with its concealment’. I said, ‘How would he deal with it?’ He^asws said: ‘He would wash the inside of her palms, and her face, and he would wash the back of her palms’.
