Question:
What is the wisdom behind the ritual bath for one who has washed a dead body?
Answer:
Because in washing the dead body, strength is weakened, one reflects on death and what comes after death, and his strength becomes weak and his powers diminish, and he is affected by some weakness; so the bath restores him, refreshes him, and strengthens him.
(Lectures explaining Bulugh al-Maram, Book of Purification)
