Chapter on Instructing the Dying (Talqin al-Muhtadarin)

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اَلنَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ جَرَّاحٍ اَلْمَدَائِنِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« لاَ تَبْنُوا عَلَى اَلْقُبُورِ وَ لاَ تُصَوِّرُوا سُقُوفَ اَلْبُيُوتِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ كَرِهَ ذَلِكَ».
Al-Husayn ibn Sa'id, from Al-Nadr ibn Suwayd, from Al-Qasim ibn Sulayman, from Jarrah Al-Mada'ini, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: Imam عليه السلام said: "Do not build over graves, and do not decorate the ceilings of houses with images, for the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, disliked that."
