مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ بَعْضِ رِجَالِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ:« أَقَلُّ مَا يُجْزِي مِنَ اَلْكَافُورِ لِلْمَيِّتِ مِثْقَالٌ وَ نِصْفٌ».
Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Yahya narrated from Muhammad bin Isa bin Ubayd, from Abdul-Rahman bin Abi Najran, from one of his associates, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: Imam عليه السلام said: "The minimum amount of kafur (camphor) required for the deceased is one and a half mithqals."
