سَمِعْتُ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيَّ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ التَّخْضِيرِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ هَلَكَ فَأُوذِنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) بِمَوْتِهِ فَقَالَ لِمَنْ يَلِيهِ مِنْ قَرَابَتِهِ خَضِّرُوا صَاحِبَكُمْ فَمَا أَقَلَّ الْمُخَضَّرِينَ قَالَ وَ مَا التَّخْضِيرُ قَالَ جَرِيدَةٌ خَضْرَاءُ تُوضَعُ مِنْ أَصْلِ الْيَدَيْنِ إِلَى التَّرْقُوَةِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Bazie, from Hanan Bin Sadeyr, from Yahya Bin Ubada Al Makky who said, ‘I heard Sufyan Al-Sowry asking him<sup>asws</sup> about the greenery, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘A man from the Helpers died and Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> advised in his death and he<sup>saww</sup> said to the one who was the closest from his relatives: ‘(Make) greenery (to be with) your companions, and what is the least are two green plants’. He said, ‘And what is the greenery?’ He<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘A green twig placed at the root of the hands up to the clavicle’ (collarbone).
