Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 23
عَنْهُ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« اَلْبُرْدُ لاَ يُلَفُّ وَ لَكِنْ يُطْرَحُ عَلَيْهِ طَرْحاً وَ إِذَا أُدْخِلَ اَلْقَبْرَ وُضِعَ تَحْتَ خَدِّهِ وَ تَحْتَ جَنْبِهِ».
Narrated from Fadalah, from Abdullah ibn Sinan, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said:
Imam عليه السلام said: "The cloak is not to be wrapped around (the deceased), but rather it should be placed over him as a covering. And when he is placed in the grave, it should be positioned under his cheek and under his side."
