3155. It was narrated that Khabbāb said: "Muṣ'ab bin 'Umayr was killed on the Day of Uḥud, and there was nothing (to shroud him with) but a Namirah."[1] When we covered his head with it, his feet were left bare, and when we covered his feet with it, his head was left bare. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Cover his head with it, and put some Idhkhīr."[2] on his feet." (Sāhīh)
3155 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ خَبَّابٍ، قَالَ: إِنَّ مُصْعَبَ بْنَ عُمَيْرٍ، قُتِلَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ إِلَّا نَمِرَةٌ، كُنَّا إِذَا غَطَّيْنَا بِهَا رَأْسَهُ خَرَجَ رِجْلَاهُ، وَإِذَا غَطَّيْنَا رِجْلَيْهِ خَرَجَ رَأْسُهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «غَطُّوا بِهَا رَأْسَهُ، وَاجْعَلُوا عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ شَيْئًا مِنَ الإِذْخِرِ»

1. The shroud must be from the deceased person's own property or wealth. 2. Just one sheet of cloth could as well suffice for the shroud. 3. If the cloth available for the shroud is too short, the head should be covered with the cloth and the feet with grass, etc.
