‘Ali ibn Muhammad narrated from some of his companions, from al-Washsha’, from Abu Khaythamah, from Abu ‘Abdullah عليه السلام. Imam عليه السلام said: "My father (Imam Al Bair عليه السلام) instructed me to wash him when he passed away. He (Imam Al Bariq عليه السلام) said to me: 'Write, O my son.' Then he (Imam Al Baqir عليه السلام) said: 'They will instruct you to do differently from what you do, so say to them: This is the instruction of my father, and I will not deviate from his words.' Then he (Imam Al Baqir عليه السلام) said: 'You begin by washing his hands, then perform ablution (Wudu) for him, similar to the ablution for prayer. Then take water and lotus leaves (Sidr).' "
