Bayhaqi 1456 — Ghusl after washing the dead

أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْفَقِيهُ، ثنا صَالِحُ بْنُ مُقَاتِلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، ثنا أَبِي، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الزِّبْرِقَانِ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَاتَ الشَّيْخُ الضَّالُّ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " اذْهَبْ فَاغْسِلْهُ وَكَفِّنْهُ " فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَا؟ فَقَالَ: " وَمَنْ أَحَقُّ بِذَلِكَ مِنْكَ، اذْهَبْ فَاغْسِلْهُ وَكَفِّنْهُ وَجَنَّنْهُ وَلَا تُحْدِثَنَّ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنِي " فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَفَعَلْتُ قَالَ: فَلَمَّا أَتَيْتُهُ قَالَ: " اذْهَبْ فَاغْتَسِلْ غُسْلَ الْجَنَابَةِ " هَذَا غَلَطٌ وَالْمَشْهُورُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ نَاجِيَةَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ كَمَا تَقَدَّمَ وَصَالِحُ بْنُ مُقَاتِلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ يَرْوِي الْمَنَاكِيرَ وَرُوِيَ فِي ذَلِكَ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Abu Talib died, I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, the misguided old man has died. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go, wash him and shroud him." I said: O Messenger of Allah, me? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Who has more right to it than you? Go, wash him, shroud him and bury him, and do not say anything to anyone until you come to me." So I went and did it. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When I came to him (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go and take a bath like the ritual bath for major impurity (janabah)."
This is an error; the well-known version is from Abu Ishaq from Najiyah from Ali, as has preceded. Salih bin Muqatil bin Salih narrates munkar (denounced) reports.
