"عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِى عَوْفٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ لِعَلِىِّ بْنِ أَبِى طَالِبٍ فِى مَرَضِهِ الَّذِى تُوُفِّىَ فِيهِ: اغْسِلْنِى يَا عَلىُّ إِذَا مِتُّ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ الله: مَا غَسَّلْتُ مَيِّتًا قَطُّ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ: إِنَّكَ سَتُهيَّأُ أَوْ تُيَسَّرُ، قَالَ عَلِىٌّ: فَغَسَّلْتُهُ فَمَا آخُذُ عُضْوًا إِلَّا تَبِعَنِى وَالْفَضْلُ أَخَذَ بِحُضْنِهِ يَقُولُ: اعْجَلْ يَا عَلِىُّ انْقَطَعَ ظَهْرِى".

"On the authority of 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi 'Awf, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to 'Ali ibn Abi Talib during his illness from which he died: 'Wash me, O 'Ali, when I die.' He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I have never washed a dead person before.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'You will be made able and it will be made easy for you.' 'Ali said: 'I washed him, and whenever I took hold of a limb, it followed me, and al-Fadl held him by his side saying: 'Hurry, O 'Ali, my back has been broken.'"
