سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ الَّذِي يُقْتَلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ يُدْفَنُ فِي ثِيَابِهِ وَ لَا يُغَسَّلُ إِلَّا أَنْ يُدْرِكَهُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَ بِهِ رَمَقٌ ثُمَّ يَمُوتَ بَعْدُ فَإِنَّهُ يُغَسَّلُ وَ يُكَفَّنُ وَ يُحَنَّطُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) كَفَّنَ حَمْزَةَ فِي ثِيَابِهِ وَ لَمْ يُغَسِّلْهُ وَ لَكِنَّهُ صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Sinan, from Aban Bin Taghlub who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘The one who has been killed in the Way of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would be buried in his clothes, and he would not be washed except if the Muslims had come across him and he still had some breath (left in him). Then if he were to die afterwards, so he would be washed, and enshrouded, and embalmed. Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> enshrouded Hamza<sup>as</sup> in his<sup>as</sup> clothes, and did not wash him<sup>as</sup>, but he<sup>saww</sup> prayed <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span> upon him<sup>as</sup>’.
