Ali ibn al-Husayn narrated from Sa'd ibn Abdullah, from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn ibn Abi al-Khattab and Ahmad ibn al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Faddal, from his father, from Ali ibn Uqbah and Dhubyan ibn Hakim, from Musa ibn Uqayl al-Numayri, from Al-Ala ibn Sayabah, who said: Abu Abdullah عليه السلام said: "There is no harm in placing the deceased between your legs and standing over him to wash him. When you turn him to the right and to the left, you may secure him with your legs to prevent him from falling face down."
