touching-deceased
417 - وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «مَنْ كَفَّنَ مُؤْمِناً فَكَأَنَّمَا ضَمِنَ كِسْوَتَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ اَلْقِيَامَةِ وَ مَنْ حَفَرَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ قَبْراً فَكَأَنَّمَا بَوَّأَهُ بَيْتاً مُوَافِقاً إِلَى يَوْمِ اَلْقِيَامَةِ.
Hadith.417 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Whoever shrouds a believer, it is as if they have guaranteed their clothing until the Day of Resurrection. And whoever digs a grave for a believer, it is as if they have prepared for them a suitable dwelling until the Day of Resurrection."
