Abdullah ibn Sinan said: 'I asked Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) about a man, is it permissible for him to look at his wife when she dies? And if there is no one else to give her the ritual bath, can he give his wife the ritual bath? And can a woman do the same for her husband when he dies?' The Imam said: 'There is no problem with that! Indeed, the woman's family does this because of their aversion to the man looking at something of the woman that they dislike.'

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ لِوَلِیِّکَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِیَةَ وَ النَّصْر

And Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: 'Likewise, if you, the Shi'a, do this (i.e., wail and weep to Allah for forty days), our relief will surely come. And if you do not, the matter will continue to its full term!'
