سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ رَجُلٍ مَاتَ فِي سَفِينَةٍ فِي الْبَحْرِ كَيْفَ يُصْنَعُ بِهِ قَالَ يُوضَعُ فِي خَابِيَةٍ وَ يُوكَى رَأْسُهَا وَ يُطْرَحُ فِي الْمَاءِ[5].
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was asked about one who dies in a ship in the ocean. He (the Imam) said, ‘The deceased is placed in a vat and with its opening sealed is thrown into the water.’”
فِي الرَّجُلِ يَمُوتُ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ فِي الْبَحْرِ فَقَالَ يُغَسَّلُ وَ يُكَفَّنُ وَ يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَ يُثْقَلُ وَ يُرْمَى بِهِ فِي الْبَحْرِ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was asked about one who dies in the company of people in the ocean. He (the Imam) said, ‘Ghusl (bath), shroud and Salah (prayer) are done for him and with some weight tied to him is thrown in the ocean.’”
إِذَا مَاتَ الرَّجُلُ فِي السَّفِينَةِ وَ لَمْ يُقْدَرْ عَلَى الشَّطِّ قَالَ يُكَفَّنُ وَ يُحَنَّطُ وَ يُلَفُّ فِي ثَوْبٍ وَ يُلْقَى فِي الْمَاءِ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If one dies in a ship and it is not possible to bring him to the shore, shroud and hunut are done for him, after wrapping in a piece of cloth, is thrown into the water.’”
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَا تَقُولُ فِي قَوْمٍ كَانُوا فِي سَفَرٍ فَهُمْ يَمْشُونَ عَلَى سَاحِلِ الْبَحْرِ فَإِذَا هُمْ بِرَجُلٍ مَيِّتٍ عُرْيَانٍ قَدْ لَفَظَهُ الْبَحْرُ[1] وَ هُمْ عُرَاةٌ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِلَّا إِزَارٌ كَيْفَ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِ وَ هُوَ عُرْيَانٌ وَ لَيْسَ مَعَهُمْ فَضْلُ ثَوْبٍ يُكَفِّنُونَهُ فِيهِ قَالَ يُحْفَرُ لَهُ وَ يُوضَعُ فِي لَحْدِهِ وَ يُوضَعُ اللَّبِنُ عَلَى عَوْرَتِهِ لِتَسْتُ
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘What do you say about a people who walk during a journey on the sea shore; they find a dead man who is naked, thrown out by the ocean and they also are naked except for a loin cloth on them; how do they perform Salah (prayer) for him when he is naked? They do not have extra clothes
الْمَرْجُومُ وَ الْمَرْجُومَةُ يُغَسَّلَانِ وَ يُحَنَّطَانِ وَ يُلْبَسَانِ الْكَفَنَ[2] قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ يُرْجَمَانِ وَ يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهِمَا وَ الْمُقْتَصُ مِنْهُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ ذَلِكَ يُغَسَّلُ وَ يُحَنَّطُ وَ يُلْبَسُ الْكَفَنَ وَ يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Ghusl (bath), hunut, and shroud are done for people stoned to death, male or female, prior to executing stoning, then Salah (prayer) is performed. Ghusl (bath), hunut, shrouding and Salah (prayer) for one executed because of retaliation are also done before the execution.”’
