Chapter on Guiding the Dying, Positioning Them at Death, Procedures for Their Final Moments, Washing Them, and Placing Them in Shrouds

مَا رَوَاهُ اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« لاَ تُقَرِّبُوا مَوْتَاكُمُ اَلنَّارَ يَعْنِي اَلدُّخْنَةَ».
Al-Hasan bin Mahbub narrated from Abu Hamzah, who said that Abu Ja’far عليه السلام said: Imam عليه السلام said: "Do not bring fire near your deceased," meaning smoke (dukhna from incense).
