أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ اَلْجُهَنِيِّ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُمَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ اِشْتَرَى مِنْ كِسْوَةِ اَلْبَيْتِ شَيْئاً هَلْ يُكَفِّنُ بِهِ اَلْمَيِّتَ قَالَ« لاَ».
Ahmad ibn Muhammad narrated from Ali ibn al-Hakam, from Abu Malik al-Juhani, from al-Husayn ibn Umara, from Abu Ja'far عليه السلام.
He (Narrator) said: “I asked Imam عليه السلام about a man who purchased something from the coverings of the Ka'bah - can he shroud a deceased person with it?” Imam عليه السلام replied: "No."
