لَا إِنَّمَا الْكَفَنُ الْمَفْرُوضُ ثَلَاثَةُ أَثْوَابٍ وَ ثَوْبٌ تَامٌّ لَا أَقَلَّ مِنْهُ يُوَارِي جَسَدَهُ كُلَّهُ فَمَا زَادَ فَهُوَ سُنَّةٌ إِلَى أَنْ يَبْلُغَ خَمْسَةَ أَثْوَابٍ فَمَا زَادَ فَهُوَ مُبْتَدَعٌ وَ الْعِمَامَةُ سُنَّةٌ وَ قَالَ أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ص بِالْعِمَامَةِ وَ عُمِّمَ النَّبِيُّ ص وَ بَعَثَ إِلَيْنَا الشَّيْخُ الصَّادِقُ ع وَ نَحْنُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ لَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ الْحَذَّاءُ بِدِينَارٍ وَ أَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَشْتَرِيَ لَهُ حَنُوطاً وَ عِمَامَةً فَفَعَلْنَا.

5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Uthaman from Hariz from Zurarah and Muhammad ibn Muslim who have said the following: “Once we asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), if turban is part of shroud for a deceased. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, it is not part of it. The obligatory shroud consist of three pieces of cloths, one over all; the minimum of which must be large enough to cover the whole body and any extra is of the Sunnah up to five pieces and more than this is contrived.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘The Holy prophet commanded to prepare turban and it was prepared for the Holy prophet.’ The truthful shaykh (a.s.), sent for us one dinar, when we were in al-Madinah at the time of the death of abu ‘Ubaydah al-Hadhdha’. He (the Imam) commanded us to buy for him hunut and turban which we did.”’
