Chapter on Guiding the Dying, Positioning Them at Death, Procedures for Their Final Moments, Washing Them, and Placing Them in Shrouds
وَ بِهَذَا اَلْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« أَقَلُّ مَا يُجْزِي مِنَ اَلْكَافُورِ لِلْمَيِّتِ مِثْقَالٌ».
And through this chain of transmission, from Muhammad bin Ya’qub, from a group of our companions, from Sahl bin Ziyad, from Ibn Abi Najran, from one of his companions, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام:
Imam عليه السلام said: "The minimum amount of kafur (camphor) required for the deceased is one mithqal."
