مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ سِرْحَانَ قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي كَفْنِ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ اَلْحَذَّاءِ:« إِنَّمَا اَلْحَنُوطُ اَلْكَافُورُ وَ لَكِنِ اِذْهَبْ فَاصْنَعْ كَمَا يَصْنَعُ اَلنَّاسُ».
Muhammad ibn al-Husayn narrated from Ja‘far ibn Bashir, from Dawood ibn Sirhan, who said:
Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said regarding the shroud of Abu Ubaydah al-Hadhdha’: "Indeed, the hanoot is camphor. However, go and do as the people customarily do."
