Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted: "O Messenger of Allah! Your uncle has passed away, or he said: My father has passed away." He said: "Go and bury him." I said: "He died in a state of shirk." He said: "Go and bury him." So I buried him and came to you, then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go and take a bath."
