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 عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ اَلنَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ اَلسَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ نَهَى أَنْ تُتْبَعَ جَنَازَةٌ بِمِجْمَرَةٍ»
And through this chain of transmission, from Ali bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al-Nawfali, from Al-Sakuni, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: Imam عليه السلام said: "The Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم forbade following a funeral procession with a censer (mijmarah) for burning incense."
