مَنْ غَسَّلَ مَيِّتاً فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ مَسَّهُ مَا دَامَ حَارّاً قَالَ فَلَا غُسْلَ عَلَيْهِ وَ إِذَا بَرَدَ ثُمَّ مَسَّهُ فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ قُلْتُ فَمَنْ أَدْخَلَهُ الْقَبْرَ قَالَ لَا غُسْلَ عَلَيْهِ إِنَّمَا يَمَسُّ الثِّيَابَ .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The one who washes a deceased, so let him wash (himself)’. I said, ‘Supposing he touches him as long as he is hot?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So there is no washing upon him, and when he is cold, then he touches him, so let him wash (himself)’. I said, ‘So (what about) the one who enters the grave?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no washing upon him. But rather, he touches the clothes’.
