اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مِهْزَمٍ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« أَنَّ أَبَاهُ كَانَ يَسْتَحِبُّ أَنْ يُجْعَلَ بَيْنَ اَلْمَيِّتِ وَ بَيْنَ اَلسَّمَاءِ سِتْرٌ» يَعْنِي إِذَا غُسِّلَ.
Al-Hasan bin Mahbub, from Ibrahim bin Mihzam, from Talhah bin Zaid, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام:
The father (Imam Al Baqir عليه السلام) of Him (Imam Al Sadiq عليه السلام) used to prefer that a cover be placed between the deceased and the sky, meaning when the deceased is being washed.
