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

سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنْ يَأْمُرَ لِي بِقَمِيصٍ أُعِدُّهُ لِكَفَنِي فَبَعَثَ بِهِ إِلَيَّ فَقُلْتُ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ« اِنْزِعْ أَزْرَارَهُ».
Sa'd ibn ‘Abdullah narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Muhammad ibn Isma‘il ibn Bazee‘. He said: I asked Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام to order a shirt for me that I could prepare as part of my shroud. So Imam عليه السلام sent it to me. I asked: "What should I do with it?" Imam عليه السلام said: "Remove its buttons."
