Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 23
عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« إِنَّ أَبِي أَوْصَانِي عِنْدَ اَلْمَوْتِ« يَا جَعْفَرُ كَفِّنِّي فِي ثَوْبِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ ثَوْبِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ اِشْتَرِ لِي بُرْداً وَاحِداً وَ عِمَامَةً وَ أَجِدْهُمَا فَإِنَّ اَلْمَوْتَى يَتَبَاهَوْنَ بِأَكْفَانِهِمْ»».
Ali ibn al-Hakam narrated from Yunus ibn Ya'qub, who said that Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, said:
Imam عليه السلام said: "My father (Imam Al Baqir عليه السلام) advised me at the time of his death: 'O Ja'far, shroud me in such-and-such garment and such-and-such garment, and buy for me a single cloak and a turban, and ensure that they are of good quality, for indeed the dead take pride in their shrouds.'"
