[8] Our sixth Imam -asws says: ‘My -asws father -asws said to me -asws : ‘O Ja’far -asws ! Dedicate to me -asws from my -asws such and such wealth for the lamenters to cry upon me -asws (after my departure from this world) for ten years at Mina (a place pilgrims go to during Hajj) in the days of Mina’ (during the days of Hajj).

[9] Bequest of the 5 th Imam -asws : ‘From Abu Abdullah -asws (6 th Imam) having said: ‘My -asws father -asws wrote in his -asws bequest that I ‑asws should enshroud him -asws in three clothes – one of them being a cloak of his -asws which he ‑asws used to pray Salaat in on the day of Friday, and another cloth, and a shirt.

He -asws said: ‘Out of fear that the people might overcome you and if they were to say, ‘Shroud him -asws in four, or five (clothes)’, do not do it, and turban me -asws with a turban, and do not count the turban as being from the shroud. But rather, count what the body is wrapped with’’.

[10] ‘Abu Ja’far -asws bequeathed with three hundred Dirhams for mourning him -asws , and he -asws used to view that to be from the Sunnah, because Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘Take food to the family of Ja’far -as , for they are too pre-occupied (with their grief)’’.
