Hazrat Khudai bin Ziyad narrates that Abdullah bin Mughaffal made a will that at the time of my death, Ibn Ziyad should not come to me and that only my companions should remain with me. So, people called among his students 'Aiz bin 'Amr, Abu Barzah, and other people. They rolled up their sleeves and gathered their shirts to give Abdullah bin Mughaffal the ritual bath, and when they finished giving the bath, they only performed ablution.

Hazrat Urwah narrates that Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) shrouded a deceased (after giving ghusl) and applied fragrance to him. Then (let alone performing ghusl), he did not even touch water.

It is narrated from Ibrahim that the companions used to say: If your companion is impure, then bathe him and then bathe yourself.

Imam Shabi says that if the deceased is impure, then you should perform ghusl (ritual washing) for him and then perform ghusl yourself.
