So who will wash Abu Al-Hassan Ali -asws Bin Musa -asws ...
So who will wash Abu Al-Hassan Ali -asws Bin Musa -asws , and his -asws son -asws is in Al-Medina, from the country of Al-Hijaz, and we are at Toos?\u2019 \n When he says that, then answer him and say to him, \u2018We are saying that the Imam -asws , it is not obligatory that no one can wash him -asws except an Imam -asws , so if an exceeded were to exceed and wash the Imam -asws , it would not invalidate the Imamate of the Imam -asws due to the transgression of his -asws washer, nor would it invalidate the Imamate of the Imam -asws who would be after him -asws , by him -asws being overcome upon the washing of his -asws father -asws .
\n And if Abu Al-Hassan Ali -asws Bin Musa -asws had been left at Al-Medina, his -asws son -asws Muhammad -asws would have washed him -asws apparently, uncovering, and he -asws would not be washed now as well except he -asws is from where he -asws can hide\u2019. \n When the tent is raised, you shall soon see me -asws wrapped up in my -asws shroud, so place me -asws upon a bier and carry me.
When he wants to dig my -asws grave, he will make the grave of his father Haroun Al-Rasheed as a Qiblah for my -asws grave, and that cannot happen to be, ever! \n When the shovels are struck, there would be a burst from the ground and nothing would burst out from it, and not even like the chipping of a nail.
When they struggle in that and it becomes difficult upon them, say to him on my -asws behalf that I had instructed you to strike one shovel in direction (as a Qiblah) of the grave of his father Haroun Al-Rasheed. When it is struck, there would be a hole in the ground to a pre-dug grace and a standing shrine.
\n When that grave is split, do not descend me -asws into it until white water bursts out from its shrine and that grave is filled up from it, until the water come (level) with the surface of the ground. Then a fish would be restless in it in its length. When it is restless, do not descend me -asws into the grave except when the fish disappears, and the water sinks in the ground. Then descend me in that grave and entomb me -asws in that shrine.
And do not leave them to be coming with the soil throwing it upon me -asws , for the grave would layer by itself and fill up\u2019. \n He (the narrator) said, \u2018I said, \u2018Yes, my Master -asws !\u2019 Then he -asws said to me: \u2018Memorise what I -asws have pacted to you, and work with it, and do not oppose\u2019.
