سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَمَسُّ الْمَيْتَ أَ يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ مِنْهَا قَالَ لَا إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْإِنْسَانِ وَحْدَهُ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُصِيبُ ثَوْبُهُ جَسَدَ الْمَيِّتِ فَقَالَ يَغْسِلُ مَا أَصَابَ الثَّوْبَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahi, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the man who touches the deceased, is it befitting for him that he washes due to it?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No. But rather, that is from the humans only (not dead animals etc.)’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the man whose clothes touch the body of the deceased. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He would wash what (part of) the clothes had been touched’.
