مَاتَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ الْحَذَّاءُ وَ أَنَا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) بِدِينَارٍ وَ قَالَ اشْتَرِ بِهَذَا حَنُوطاً وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّ الْحَنُوطَ هُوَ الْكَافُورُ وَ لَكِنِ اصْنَعْ كَمَا يَصْنَعُ النَّاسُ قَالَ فَلَمَّا مَضَيْتُ أَتْبَعَنِي بِدِينَارٍ وَ قَالَ اشْتَرِ بِهَذَا كَافُوراً .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Dawood Bin Sirham who said, ‘Abu Ubeyda Al-Haza’a died and I was in Al-Medina, so Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> sent a Dinar to me and said: ‘Buy embalming (material), and know that the embalming (material), it is the camphor, but do as what the people are doing’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So when I went, he<sup>asws</sup> followed me with a Dinar and said: ‘Buy camphor with this’.
