Bayhaqi 6686 — Shrouding in a shirt is permissible, though we prefer

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ، أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، وَأَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الرَّزَّازُ قَالَا: ثنا سَعْدَانُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ يَقُولُ: لَمَّا كَانَ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ طَلَبَتْ لَهُ الْأَنْصَارُ ثَوْبًا يَكْسُونَهُ، فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا قَمِيصًا يَصْلُحُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا قَمِيصَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ، فَكَسَوْهُ إِيَّاهُ ". رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُسْنَدِيِّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، وَقَدْ قِيلَ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَصَدَ بِمَا فَعَلَ مَكَافَأَتَهُ بِمَا صَنَعَ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that Sayyiduna al-Abbas bin Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) was in Madinah, and the Ansar looked for a garment to clothe him with, but they did not find any shirt that fit him except the shirt of Abdullah bin Ubayy (the hypocrite), so they clothed him in that shirt.
It has been said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did that (for him) as a repayment for what he had done (he had clothed Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) in a shirt). And Allah knows best.
