Chapter on Guiding the Dying, Positioning Them at Death, Procedures for Their Final Moments, Washing Them, and Placing Them in Shrouds
عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ عَلاَءٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تُكَفِّنَهُ فَإِنِ اِسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِي كَفَنِهِ ثَوْبٌ كَانَ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ نَظِيفٌ فَافْعَلْ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ يُكَفَّنَ فِيمَا كَانَ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ».
Ali bin Muhammad narrated from Muhammad bin Khalid, from Abdullah bin Al-Mughirah, from Alaa, from Muhammad bin Muslim, from Abu Ja’far عليه السلام:
Imam عليه السلام said: "If you intend to shroud the deceased, and you are able to include in the shroud a clean garment that he used to pray in, then do so. It is recommended that he be shrouded in what he used to pray in."
