إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تُحَنِّطَ الْمَيِّتَ فَاعْمِدْ إِلَى الْكَافُورِ فَامْسَحْ بِهِ آثَارَ السُّجُودِ مِنْهُ وَ مَفَاصِلَهُ كُلَّهَا وَ رَأْسَهُ وَ لِحْيَتَهُ وَ عَلَى صَدْرِهِ مِنَ الْحَنُوطِ وَ قَالَ حَنُوطُ الرَّجُلِ وَ الْمَرْأَةِ سَوَاءٌ وَ قَالَ وَ أَكْرَهُ أَنْ يُتْبَعَ بِمِجْمَرَةٍ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘When you want to embalm the deceased, so deliberate to the camphor and wipe with it the places of the prostrations from it, and the joints, all of them, and his head, and his beard, and upon his chest, from the embalming (camphor)’. And he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The embalming of the man and the woman is the same’. And he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And it is disliked that it be followed by the (smoke of) incense burning’.
