Hadith 3

(The books) ‘Al Ilal’, and ‘Al Uyoun’ – by the preceding chain, ‘From Al-Reza-asws having said: ‘And reason of washing of the Eid, and the Friday, and other than that from the washing is due to what is in it from reverence of the servant to his Lord‑azwj, and receiving it (from) the Benevolent, the Majestic, and seeking the Forgiveness for his sins, and for the day of Eid to be well known for them they can be gathering in it upon Zikr of Allah‑azwj Mighty and Majestic. So, He-azwj Made the washing to be in it as a reverence for that day, and a preference for it upon rest of the days, and an increase in the optional (Salat), and the worship, and for that to be a cleansing for him, from the Friday to the Friday. And a reason of washing of the dead, he is being washed because it is a purification and a cleansing from dirt of his sicknesses and from had afflicted him from the types of his illnesses, because he is to meet the Angels and proceed to people of the Hereafter. So, it is recommended when he arrives to Allah-azwj and meets the clean people and they touch him and he touches them, he should be pure, clean, heading with it to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic in order to seek (His-azwj Mercy) and Him-azwj to Intercede for him. And another reason is, he comes out from the harm (seed) which he had been Created from, so he is with sexual impurity, so his washing would be for it; and reason of washing by the one who washes him or touches him, apparently it is for what had hit him from splashing water of the deceased, because the deceased is such, when the soul exits from him, most of his afflictions remain. For that reason, he has to be purified from it and cleaned’’. [3]
