4 Aḥadīth
Ḥadīth 1

1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فِي الْمُحْرِمِ يَمُوتُ قَالَ يُغَسَّلُ وَيُكَفَّنُ وَيُغَطَّى وَجْهُهُ وَلا يُحَنَّطُ وَلا يُمَسُّ شَيْئاً مِنَ الطِّيبِ.

1. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from Ali ibn abu Hamzah who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who in the state of Ihram dies. He (the Imam) said, ‘He is given Ghusl (bath), shroud and his face is covered, but Hunut (rubbing camphor over the seven parts of the body which one places on the ground for Sajdah (prostration)) is not used for him, nor any other kinds of perfumes.”’

Ḥadīth 2

2ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمُحْرِمِ يَمُوتُ قَالَ يُغَسَّلُ وَيُكَفَّنُ بِالثِّيَابِ كُلِّهَا يُصْنَعُ بِهِ كَمَا يُصْنَعُ بِالْمُحِلِّ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لا يُمَسُّ الطِّيبَ.

2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from Sama‘ah who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who dies in the state of Ihram. He (the Imam) said, ‘Ghusl (bath) and shroud of all pieces must be provided for him like one not in the state of Ihram, except that perfumes must not be allowed to touch him.’”

Ḥadīth 3

3ـ مُحَمَّدٌ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ تُوُفِّيَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ بِالأَبْوَاءِ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ وَمَعَهُ الْحَسَنُ وَالْحُسَيْنُ وَعَبْدُ الله بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَعَبْدُ الله وَعُبَيْدُ الله ابْنَا الْعَبَّاسِ فَكَفَّنُوهُ وَخَمَّرُوا وَجْهَهُ وَرَأْسَهُ وَلَمْ يُحَنِّطُوهُ وَقَالَ هَكَذَا فِي كِتَابِ عَلِيٍّ ع.

3. Muhammad has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from ibn Faddal from Yunus from Ya’qub from abu Maryam who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hassan ibn Ali (a.s.), died in al-Abwa’ (name of a place) in the state of Ihram. With him there were al-Hassan, al- Husayn, ‘Abd Allah ibn Ja‘far, ‘Abd Allah and ‘Ubayd Allah sons of al-‘Abbas. They provided him shroud and covered his face and head, but did not use Hunut (rubbing camphor over the seven parts of the body which one places on the ground for Sajdah (prostration)) saying, ‘This is how it is written in the book of Ali (a.s.).’”

4ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ هِلالٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ جَبَلَةَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ الْمُحْرِمَةِ تَمُوتُ وَهِيَ طَامِثٌ قَالَ لا تُمَسَّ الطِّيبَ وَإِنْ كُنَّ مَعَهَا نِسْوَةٌ حَلالٌ.

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Hassan from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn Hilal from ‘Abd Allah ibn Jabalah from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a woman who in the state of Ihram dies during her experiencing Hayd (menses). He (the Imam) said, ‘Perfumes must not be allowed to touch her even if there are women around who are not in the state of Ihram.’”
