Mishkat al-Masabih #1554
Funerals
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا كَفَّنَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ فليحسن كَفنه» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم
Jabir reported God’s messenger as saying, “When one of you shrouds his brother he should use a shroud of good quality.”
Muslim transmitted it.
