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 أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ اَلْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُوضَعَ اَلْمَيِّتُ دُونَ اَلْقَبْرِ هُنَيْئَةً ثُمَّ وَارِهِ».
And through this chain of narrators, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa, from Muhammad ibn Khalid al-Barqi, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from ‘Abdullah ibn Sinan, from Abu ‘Abdullah عليه السلام:
Imam عليه السلام said: "It is recommended to place the deceased near the grave for a short while, and then bury him."
