وَعَنْ عَلِيٍّ رضى الله عنه
قَالَ: «سَمِعْتُ اَلنَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «لَا تُغَالُوا فِي اَلْكَفَنِ، فَإِنَّهُ يُسْلُبُ سَرِيعًا»
‘AIi (RAA) narrated, ‘l heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) say, ‘Do not be extravagant in shrouding (i.e. do not spend too much money on them) for it will decay quickly.’ Related by Abu Dawud.’’
