2ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) يَقُولُ لاَ تَنْزِلْ فِي الْقَبْرِ وَعَلَيْكَ الْعِمَامَةُ وَالْقَلَنْسُوَةُ وَلاَ الْحِذَاءُ وَلاَ الطَّيْلَسَانُ وَحُلَّ أَزْرَارَكَ وَبِذَلِكَ سُنَّةُ رَسُولِ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) جَرَتْ وَلْيَتَعَوَّذْ بِالله مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ وَلْيَقْرَأْ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَالْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ وَقُلْ هُوَ الله أَحَدٌ وَآيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَإِنْ قَدَرَ أَنْ يَحْسِرَ عَنْ خَدِّهِ وَيُلْصِقَهُ بِالأرْضِ فَلْيَفْعَلْ وَلْيَشْهَدْ وَلْيَذْكُرْ مَا يَعْلَمُ حَتَّى يَنْتَهِيَ إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ.
2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Um ay r from Ali ibn Yaqtin who has said the following: “I heard abu al-Hassan, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, say, ‘You must not enter a grave wearing a turban, a hat, shoes, or a shawl. You should open up your buttons, thus is the tradition of the Messenger of Allah. You should ask protection from Allah against Satan, the one condemned to be stoned. You should read Fatihah al-Kitab, Chapters 113, 114, 112 and Ayat al-Kursiy. If possible, one should make the side of his face touch the earth, keep saying the testimonies of faith and speak of Allah as much as one knows until he is in the presence of his guardian (Imam al-Mahdi).”’

You should open your buttons.’ I then asked, ‘Can one wear al-Khuff (slippers or socks)?’ He replied, ‘There is no offense in wearing al-Khuff if needed or because of fear.’”
