Chapter on Guiding the Dying, Positioning Them at Death, Procedures for Their Final Moments, Washing Them, and Placing Them in Shrouds
فَأَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بِنْتِ إِلْيَاسَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« لاَ بَأْسَ بِدُخْنَةِ كَفَنِ اَلْمَيِّتِ وَ يَنْبَغِي لِلْمَرْءِ اَلْمُسْلِمِ أَنْ يُدَخِّنَ ثِيَابَهُ إِذَا كَانَ يَقْدِرُ».
Ahmad bin Muhammad narrated from Al-Hasan bin Ali, the grandson of Ilyas, from Abdullah bin Sinan:
Abu Abdullah عليه السلام said: "There is no harm in perfuming the shroud (kafan) of the deceased with smoke (dukhna), and it is appropriate for a Muslim to perfume his clothes with incense if he is able to do so."
