The Sufficient (Vol 3) · Hadith 535 (#Ḥadīth #6)

6ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ الْمَيِّتُ يُكَفَّنُ فِي ثَلاَثَةٍ سِوَى الْعِمَامَةِ وَالْخِرْقَةِ يَشُدُّ بِهَا وَرِكَيْهِ لِكَيْلاَ يَبْدُوَ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ وَالْخِرْقَةُ وَالْعِمَامَةُ لاَ بُدَّ مِنْهُمَا وَلَيْسَتَا مِنَ الْكَفَنِ.

6. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said, ‘A deceased must be shrouded with three pieces of cloth besides turban, and one piece which is wrapped around the hips, so that nothing is exposed. The piece of cloth and turban are necessary but they are not part of shroud.’”
