Chapter on Touching the Deceased
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 25
وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «مَنْ كَفَّنَ مُؤْمِناً فَكَأَنَّمَا ضَمِنَ كِسْوَتَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ اَلْقِيَامَةِ وَ مَنْ حَفَرَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ قَبْراً فَكَأَنَّمَا بَوَّأَهُ بَيْتاً مُوَافِقاً إِلَى يَوْمِ اَلْقِيَامَةِ.
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "Whoever shrouds a believer, it is as if they have guaranteed their clothing until the Day of Resurrection. And whoever digs a grave for a believer, it is as if they have prepared for them a suitable dwelling until the Day of Resurrection."
