٩ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ بِالْكَفَنِ قَالَ تَأْخُذُ خِرْقَةً فَتَشُدُّ بِهَا عَلَى مَقْعَدَتِهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ قُلْتُ فَالإِزَارُ قَالَ إِنَّهَا لاَ تُعَدُّ شَيْئاً إِنَّمَا تَصْنَعُ لِيُضَمَّ مَا هُنَاكَ لِئَلاَّ يَخْرُجَ مِنْهُ شَيْ‏ءٌ وَمَا يُصْنَعُ مِنَ الْقُطْنِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْهَا ثُمَّ يُخْرَقُ الْقَمِيصُ إِذَا غُسِّلَ وَيُنْزَعُ مِنْ رِجْلَيْهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ الْكَفَنُ قَمِيصٌ غَيْرُ مَزْرُورٍ وَلاَ مَكْفُوفٍ وَعِمَامَةٌ يُعَصَّبُ بِهَا رَأْسُهُ وَيُرَدُّ فَضْلُهَا عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ.
9. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about how shroud is prepared. He (the Imam) said, ‘Take one piece of cloth to wrap around his hips and legs.’ I asked about loincloth. He (the Imam) said, ‘It does not count for anything. It is only to hold that area so that nothing is exposed. The cotton that is use is better than this. The shirt is torn and is taken out from the side of his legs when Ghusl (bath) is given.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘Part of shroud is the shirt without buttons and borders, and a turban that is wrapped around his head and the extra is allowed to hang down to his legs.’”
