السُّنَّةُ فِي الْحَنُوطِ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ دِرْهَماً وَ ثُلُثٌ أَكْثَرُهُ وَ قَالَ إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ ( عليه السلام ) نَزَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) بِحَنُوطٍ وَ كَانَ وَزْنُهُ أَرْبَعِينَ دِرْهَماً فَقَسَمَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) ثَلَاثَةَ أَجْزَاءٍ جُزْءٌ لَهُ وَ جُزْءٌ لِعَلِيٍّ وَ جُزْءٌ لِفَاطِمَةَ ( عليها السلام ) .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, raising it, said, ‘The Sunnah regarding the embalming is thirteen Dirhams and a third (in weight) at most’. And he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Jibraeel<sup>as</sup> descended unto Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> with embalming (camphor), and its weight was of forty Dirhams. So Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> divided it into three parts – a part for himself<sup>saww</sup>, and a part for Ali<sup>asws</sup>, and a part for (Syeda) Fatima<sup>asws</sup>’.
