1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from certain persons of his people who has said the following
“Abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Nothing of the hairs or nails of a deceased is touched and if any of such things fall off, you must place them in his shroud.’”
1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ
لاَ يُمَسُّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ شَعْرٌ وَلاَ ظُفُرٌ وَإِنْ سَقَطَ مِنْهُ شَيْ‏ءٌ فَاجْعَلْهُ فِي كَفَنِهِ.
