سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنِّي كَفَّنْتُ أَبِي فِي ثَوْبَيْنِ شَطَوِيَّيْنِ كَانَ يُحْرِمُ فِيهِمَا وَ فِي قَمِيصٍ مِنْ قُمُصِهِ وَ عِمَامَةٍ كَانَتْ لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ فِي بُرْدٍ اشْتَرَيْتُهُ بِأَرْبَعِينَ دِينَاراً لَوْ كَانَ الْيَوْمَ لَسَاوَى أَرْبَعَمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Amro Bin Saeed, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> the 1<sup>st</sup>, said, ‘I heard him<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘My<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup> was enshrouded in two clothes, <span class="iTxt">Shatwayn</span> (a type of Egyptian fabric) which he<sup>asws</sup> used to wear <span class="iTxt">Ihraam</span> with, and in a shirt from his<sup>asws</sup> shirts, and a turban which was for Ali<sup>asws</sup> Bin Al-Husayn<sup>asws</sup>, and in a cloak which had been bought for forty Dinars. If it was today, it would equate to four hundred Dinars’.
