عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ وَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالاَ:« إِذَا جَفَّفْتَ اَلْمَيِّتَ عَمَدْتَ إِلَى اَلْكَافُورِ فَمَسَحْتَ بِهِ آثَارَ اَلسُّجُودِ وَ مَفَاصِلَهُ كُلَّهَا وَ اِجْعَلْ فِي فِيهِ وَ مَسَامِعِهِ وَ رَأْسِهِ وَ لِحْيَتِهِ شَيْئاً مِنَ اَلْحَنُوطِ وَ عَلَى صَدْرِهِ وَ فَرْجِهِ» وَ قَالَ« حَنُوطُ اَلرَّجُلِ وَ اَلْمَرْأَةِ سَوَاءٌ».
Narrated from Ali ibn Muhammad, from Muhammad ibn Khalid, from Ibn Abi Umair, from Hammad, from Zurara, from Abu Ja'far and Abu Abdillah عليه السلام.
The Imams عليه السلام said: "When you have dried the deceased, take the camphor and wipe it on the marks of prostration and all the joints. Place some of the hanoot in his mouth, ears, head, and beard, and also on his chest and private area." They عليه السلام also said: "The hanoot for a man and a woman is the same."
