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

مَا أَخْبَرَنِي بِهِ اَلشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْ أَبِي اَلْقَاسِمِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ نُوحٍ عَمَّنْ رَوَاهُ عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ اَلْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« أَنَّ اَلْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ عَ كَفَّنَ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ بِبُرْدٍ حِبَرَةٍ وَ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ كَفَّنَ سَهْلَ بْنَ حُنَيْفٍ بِبُرْدٍ أَحْمَرَ حِبَرَةٍ».
The Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, narrated to me from Abu Al-Qasim Ja’far bin Muhammad, from Muhammad bin Ya’qub, from a group of our companions, from Sahl bin Ziyad, from Ayyub bin Nuh, from someone who narrated it from Abu Maryam Al-Ansari, from Abu Ja’far عليه السلام: Imam عليه السلام said: "(Imam) Al-Hasan bin Ali عليه السلام shrouded Usamah bin Zayd in a striped cloak (burd hibrah), and (Imam) Ali عليه السلام shrouded Sahl bin Hunayf in a red striped cloak (burd ahmar hibrah)."
