Hadith 607
۞
13. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Salim from Mufaddal ibn ‘Umar who has said the following
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘Who gave Ghusl (bath) to Fatimah, ‘Alayha al- Salam ? He (the Imam) said, ‘That was ’Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.). It seems as if you find it astonishing to hear such words.’ He (the Imam) said to me, ‘It seems you are strained because of what I told you.’ I said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, that is true.’ He (the Imam) said to me, ‘You must not be stressed out; she was a truthful one and no one other than a truthful one could give her Ghusl (bath). Consider the case of Maryam (Mary) who was given Ghusl (bath) by no one other than Jesus (a.s.) .’ I then said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, what do you say about the case of a woman who dies during a journey in the company of men among whom there is no one of her relatives or other woman. What they must do?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Only those parts of her body are washed which Allah has made obligatory to be used for Tayammum. She is not touched and neither anything of her beauty which Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has covered must be exposed.’ I then asked, ‘What they must do?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Only her palms, face and the backs of her hands are washed.’”
13ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ مُفَضَّلِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) مَنْ غَسَّلَ فَاطِمَةَ (عَلَيْهِا الْسَّلام) قَالَ ذَاكَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) كَأَنَّكَ اسْتَفْظَعْتَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ فَقَالَ لِي كَأَنَّكَ ضِقْتَ مِمَّا أَخْبَرْتُكَ فَقُلْتُ قَدْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَقَالَ لِي لاَ تَضِيقَنَّ فَإِنَّهَا صِدِّيقَةٌ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُغَسِّلُهَا إِلاَّ صِدِّيقٌ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ مَرْيَمَ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) لَمْ يُغَسِّلْهَا إِلاَّ عِيسَى (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَمَا تَقُولُ فِي الْمَرْأَةِ تَكُونُ فِي السَّفَرِ مَعَ الرِّجَالِ لَيْسَ لَهَا مَعَهُمْ ذُو مَحْرَمٍ وَلاَ مَعَهُمُ امْرَأَةٌ فَتَمُوتُ الْمَرْأَةُ مَا يُصْنَعُ بِهَا قَالَ يُغْسَلُ مِنْهَا مَا أَوْجَبَ الله عَلَيْهِ التَّيَمُّمَ وَلاَ تُمَسُّ وَلاَ يُكْشَفُ شَيْءٌ مِنْ مَحَاسِنِهَا الَّذِي أَمَرَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِسَتْرِهِ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ يُصْنَعُ بِهَا قَالَ يُغْسَلُ بَطْنُ كَفَّيْهَا وَوَجْهُهَا وَيُغْسَلُ ظَهْرُ كَفَّيْهَا.
