Washing of the Deceased

388. hadíth

وَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «مَنْ غَسَّلَ مَيِّتاً مُؤْمِناً فَأَدَّى فِيهِ اَلْأَمَانَةَ غَفَرَ اَللَّهُ لَهُ» قِيلَ وَ كَيْفَ يُؤَدِّي فِيهِ اَلْأَمَانَةَ قَالَ «لاَ يُخْبِرُ بِمَا يَرَاهُ وَ حَدُّهُ إِلَى أَنْ يُدْفَنَ اَلْمَيِّتُ.

The Imam (a.s) said: "Whoever washes a deceased believer and fulfils the trust in that act, Allah (swt) will forgive them." It was asked: "How does one fulfil the trust in this matter?" Imam (a.s) replied: "By not disclosing what they see and maintaining their duty until the deceased is buried."
