أَقَلُّ مَا يُجْزِئُ مِنَ الْكَافُورِ لِلْمَيِّتِ مِثْقَالٌ . وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ الْكَاهِلِيِّ وَ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْمُخْتَارِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ الْقَصْدُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَرْبَعَةُ مَثَاقِيلَ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Abu Najran, from one of his companions, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The least of what is allowed from the camphor for the deceased is one <span class="iTxt">Misqaal</span> (approx 4.7 gms.)’. And in a report of Al-Kahily, and Husayn Bin Al-Mukhtar, from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The moderate from that is four <span class="iTxt">Misqaals</span>’.
