Chapter on Guiding the Dying, Positioning Them at Death, Procedures for Their Final Moments, Washing Them, and Placing Them in Shrouds
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« اَلْكَفَنُ يَكُونُ بُرْداً فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بُرْداً فَاجْعَلْهُ كُلَّهُ قُطْناً فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدْ عِمَامَةَ قُطْنٍ فَاجْعَلِ اَلْعِمَامَةَ سَابِرِيّاً».
Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Yahya narrated from Ahmad bin Al-Hasan bin Ali, from Amr bin Sa’id, from Musaddiq bin Sadaqa, from Ammar bin Musa, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام:
Imam عليه السلام said: "The shroud (kafan) should be a striped garment (burd). If a striped garment is not available, then make it entirely of cotton. If a cotton turban ('imamah) cannot be found, then let the turban be made of Sabiri fabric."
