Hadith 398
And whoever touches a piece of the body of a dead human devoured by animals; if he has touched a bone, he must perform ghusl (ritual purification), but if there is no bone present, there is no obligation for ghusl. And whoever touches a dead creature must wash his hands, but he is not required to perform the wash of touching; this obligation applies only to humans. If someone touches a dead person before they have cooled (while their body is still warm), they are not required to perform ghusl. However, if they touch them after the body has cooled, they must perform ghusl. If the person is touched after the deceased has been washed (ritually purified), there is no ghusl required.
ومن مس قطعة من جسد أكيل السبع فعليه الغسل إن كان فيما مس عظم وما لم يكن فيه عظم فلا غسل عليه في مسه، ومن مس ميتة فعليه أن يغسل يديه وليس عليه الغسل إنما يجب ذلك في الانسان وحده، ومن مس ميتا قبل الغسل بحرارته فلا غسل عليه، وإن مسه بعدما يبرد فعليه الغسل، ومن مسه بعدما يغسل فليس عليه غسل.

Hadith.405 - It was narrated from Yahya ibn 'Abbad al-Makki that He said: "
I heard Sufyan al-Thawri asking Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) about 'al-takhdir' (placing green branches).

He said to those from the man's relatives who were responsible for him, "Place greenery (al-takhdir) on your companion. How few are those who will be adorned with greenery on the Day of Resurrection."' Sufyan asked: 'What is al-takhdir?' Imam (as) said: "A green palm branch that is placed from the base of the hands to the base of the collarbone."

Hadith.407 - Zurarah said: I asked Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as): "Why is a palm branch placed with the deceased?" Imam (as) said: "The punishment and accounting (in the grave) are averted from them as long as the branch remains fresh. The entire accounting and punishment occur in a single day and a single moment—during the time it takes for the deceased to be placed in the grave and for the people to return. The two palm branches were placed for this reason, so no punishment or accounting will afflict the deceased after they have dried up, if Allah (swt) wills."
407 - وَقَالَ زُرَارَةُ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَ رَأَيْتَ اَلْمَيِّتَ إِذَا مَاتَ لِمَ تُجْعَلُ مَعَهُ اَلْجَرِيدَةُ فَقَالَ «يَتَجَافَى عَنْهُ اَلْعَذَابُ وَ اَلْحِسَابُ مَا دَامَ اَلْعُودُ رَطْباً إِنَّمَا اَلْحِسَابُ وَ اَلْعَذَابُ كُلُّهُ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ فِي سَاعَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ قَدْرَ مَا يُدْخَلُ اَلْقَبْرَ وَ يَرْجِعُ اَلْقَوْمُ وَ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَتِ اَلسَّعَفَتَانِ لِذَلِكَ فَلاَ يُصِيبُهُ عَذَابٌ وَ لاَ حِسَابٌ بَعْدَ جُفُوفِهِمَا إِنْ شَاءَ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى.

If he has a sign of life and then dies, he should be washed, shrouded, embalmed, and the funeral prayer should be offered for him. This is because the Messenger of Allah (sw) prayed over Hamza, shrouded him, and embalmed him because he had been stripped (of his clothing)”.
