Hadith 443
۞
Hadith.444 - Aban ibn Taghlib asked Him about a man who is killed in the path of Allah (swt): Should he be washed, shrouded, and embalmed (with Hunut)?"
Imam (as) replied: "He should be buried as he is, in his clothing with his blood, unless there is a sign of life remaining. If he has a sign of life and then dies, he should be washed, shrouded, embalmed, and the funeral prayer should be offered for him. This is because the Messenger of Allah (sw) prayed over Hamza, shrouded him, and embalmed him because he had been stripped (of his clothing)”.
444 - وَ سَأَلَهُ أَبَانُ بْنُ تَغْلِبَ: عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُقْتَلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اَللَّهِ أَ يُغَسَّلُ وَ يُكَفَّنُ وَ يُحَنَّطُ فَقَالَ
«يُدْفَنُ كَمَا هُوَ فِي ثِيَابِهِ بِدَمِهِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ بِهِ رَمَقٌ فَإِنْ كَانَ بِهِ رَمَقٌ ثُمَّ مَاتَ فَإِنَّهُ يُغَسَّلُ وَ يُكَفَّنُ وَ يُحَنَّطُ وَ يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ لِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ صَلَّى عَلَى حَمْزَةَ وَ كَفَّنَهُ وَ حَنَّطَهُ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ جُرِّدَ.
