سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الَّذِي يُقْتَلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَ يُغَسَّلُ وَ يُكَفَّنُ وَ يُحَنَّطُ قَالَ يُدْفَنُ كَمَا هُوَ فِي ثِيَابِهِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ بِهِ رَمَقٌ ثُمَّ مَاتَ فَإِنَّهُ يُغَسَّلُ وَ يُكَفَّنُ وَ يُحَنَّطُ وَ يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) صَلَّى عَلَى حَمْزَةَ وَ كَفَّنَهُ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَدْ جُرِّدَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Al Husayn Bin Usman, from Ibn Muskan, from Aban Bin Taghlib who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the one who is killed in the Way of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, should he be washed, and enshrouded, and embalmed?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He would be buried just as he is in his cothes, except if there happens to be some breath (still left) in him, then he dies. So he would be washed, and enshrouded, and embalmed, and he would be prayed <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span> upon. Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> prayed <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span> upon Hamza<sup>as</sup> and enshrouded him<sup>as</sup> because he<sup>as</sup> was stripped’.
