Chapter on Guiding the Dying, Positioning Them at Death, Procedures for Their Final Moments, Washing Them, and Placing Them in Shrouds
اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ:« اَلْمَرْأَةُ إِذَا مَاتَتْ نُفَسَاءَ وَ كَثُرَ دَمُهَا أُدْخِلَتْ إِلَى اَلسُّرَّةِ فِي اَلْأَدِيمِ أَوْ مِثْلِ اَلْأَدِيمِ نَظِيفٍ ثُمَّ تُكَفَّنُ مِنْ بَعْدِ ذَلِكَ وَ يُحْشَى اَلْقُبُلُ وَ اَلدُّبُرُ بِالْقُطْنِ».
Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub transmitted it, saying: "If a woman dies in a state of postpartum bleeding (Nifas) and her bleeding is abundant, she is wrapped up to her navel in leather or something clean similar to leather. Then she is shrouded afterward, and her private parts - both front and back -are filled with cotton."
