Hadith 590
washing-deceased
589 - وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي آخِرِ حَدِيثٍ: يَذْكُرُ فِيهِ غُسْلَ اَلْمَيِّتِ «إِيَّاكَ أَنْ تَحْشُوَ مَسَامِعَهُ شَيْئاً فَإِنْ خِفْتَ أَنْ يَظْهَرَ مِنَ اَلْمَنْخِرَيْنِ شَيْءٌ فَلاَ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُصَيِّرَ عَلَيْهِ قُطْناً وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَخَفْ فَلاَ تَجْعَلْ فِيهِ شَيْئاً.
Hadith.589 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: at the end of a narration discussing the washing of the deceased: "Be careful not to stuff anything into the ears. However, if you fear that something may come out from the nostrils, there is no issue with placing cotton there. But if you do not fear anything coming out, do not place anything in them”.
