عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ اَلْقَاسَانِيُّ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عِيسَى قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ اَلْأَوَّلَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلسَّعَفَةِ اَلْيَابِسَةِ إِذَا قَطَعَهَا بِيَدِهِ هَلْ يَجُوزُ لِلْمَيِّتِ تُوضَعُ مَعَهُ فِي حُفْرَتِهِ فَقَالَ« لاَ يَجُوزُ اَلْيَابِسُ».
Ali bin Muhammad al-Qasani, from Mansur bin Abbas and Ahmad bin Zakariya, from Muhammad bin Ali bin Isa, said:
I asked Abu al-Hasan al-Awwal (the First) عليه السلام, about a dry palm leaf if it is broken by hand - can it be placed with the deceased in his grave? Imam عليه السلام replied: "The dry one is not permissible."
