Al-Kāfi|Volume 4|Book 3|Chapter 100
1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فِي الْمُحْرِمِ يَمُوتُ قَالَ يُغَسَّلُ وَيُكَفَّنُ وَيُغَطَّى وَجْهُهُ وَلا يُحَنَّطُ وَلا يُمَسُّ شَيْئاً مِنَ الطِّيبِ.
1. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from Ali ibn abu Hamzah who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah عليه السلام, about a man who in the state of Ihram dies. He (the Imam) said, ‘He is given Ghusl (bath), shroud and his face is covered, but Hunut (rubbing camphor over the seven parts of the body which one places on the ground for Sajdah (prostration)) is not used for him, nor any other kinds of perfumes.”’
