بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي كَفَنِ الْمَيِّتِChapter on what is reported regarding shrouding the deceased
Hadith 525
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " الْمَيِّتُ يُقَمَّصُ وَيُؤَزَّرُ ، وَيُلَفُّ فِي الثَّوْبِ الثَّالِثِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ إِلَّا ثَوْبٌ وَاحِدٌ كُفِّنَ فِيهِ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a deceased should be dressed in a shirt and an izar (lower garment), then wrapped in a third cloth. If there is only one cloth, then the shroud should be given in that alone.
