سَأَلْتُ أَحَدَهُمَا ( عليهما السلام ) عَنِ الْمَيِّتِ فَقَالَ تَسُلُّهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ الرِّجْلَيْنِ وَ تُلْزِقُ الْقَبْرَ بِالْأَرْضِ إِلَى قَدْرِ أَرْبَعِ أَصَابِعَ مُفَرَّجَاتٍ وَ تُرَبِّعُ قَبْرَهُ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Al A’ala Bin Razeyn, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said, ‘I asked one of the two (5<sup>th</sup> or 6<sup>th</sup> Imam<sup>asws</sup> about the deceased, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Place him from the direction of the two legs, and paste the grave with the earth by a measurement of four open fingers (in height), and square his grave (make it four cornered)’.
