Chapter on Guiding the Dying, Positioning Them at Death, Procedures for Their Final Moments, Washing Them, and Placing Them in Shrouds

Sa’d bin Abdullah narrated from Ya’qub bin Yazid, from Muhammad bin Shu’ayb, from Abu Kahmas: I was present at the death of Isma’il while Abu Abdullah عليه السلام was sitting beside him. When death had approached him, Abu Abdullah عليه السلام tied his jaw, closed his eyes, and covered him with a shroud. Then Imam عليه السلام ordered preparations for his burial. When the preparations were completed, Imam عليه السلام brought the burial shroud and wrote on its edge: "Isma’il testifies that there is no god but Allah سبحانه وتعالى."
