سَأَلْتُهُ كَيْفَ تُكَفَّنُ الْمَرْأَةُ فَقَالَ كَمَا يُكَفَّنُ الرَّجُلُ غَيْرَ أَنَّهَا تُشَدُّ عَلَى ثَدْيَيْهَا خِرْقَةٌ تَضُمُّ الثَّدْيَ إِلَى الصَّدْرِ وَ تُشَدُّ عَلَى ظَهْرِهَا وَ يُصْنَعُ لَهَا الْقُطْنُ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا يُصْنَعُ لِلرِّجَالِ وَ يُحْشَى الْقُبُلُ وَ الدُّبُرُ بِالْقُطْنِ وَ الْحَنُوطِ ثُمَّ تُشَدُّ عَلَيْهَا الْخِرْقَةُ شَدّاً شَدِيداً .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from one of our companions, raising it, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about how the woman would be enshrouded. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Just as the man would be enshrouded, apart from that a cloth would be tightened upon her breasts to press the breasts upon the chest and it would be tightened upon her back, and the cotton (padding) would be done for her more than what would be done for the man, and stuffing the front and the back with the cotton and the embalming (camphor), then the cloth would be tightened upon her with an intense tightening’.
