Chapter on Guiding the Dying, Positioning Them at Death, Procedures for Their Final Moments, Washing Them, and Placing Them in Shrouds
وَ بِهَذَا اَلْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« إِذَا كَفَّنْتَ اَلْمَيِّتَ فَذُرَّ عَلَى كُلِّ ثَوْبٍ شَيْئاً مِنْ ذَرِيرَةٍ وَ كَافُورٍ».
And through this chain of narrators, from Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub, from a group of our companions, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa, from Sama‘ah, from Abu ‘Abdullah عليه السلام:
Imam عليه السلام said: "When you shroud the deceased, sprinkle some powdered perfume (Dharirah) and camphor on each piece of clothing."
