Hadith.587 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said:
"There is no issue if you place the deceased between your legs and stand over him to wash him. When you turn him to the right or left, hold him firmly with your legs so that he does not fall on his face”.
587 - وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ اَلْمَيِّتَ بَيْنَ رِجْلَيْكَ وَ أَنْ تَقُومَ فَوْقَهُ فَتُغَسِّلَهُ إِذَا قَلَّبْتَهُ يَمِيناً وَ شِمَالاً تَضْبِطُهُ بِرِجْلَيْكَ كَيْ لاَ يَسْقُطَ لِوَجْهِهِ.
