1896. It was narrated that Ibn Juraij said: "Abū Az-Zubair told me that he heard Jābir say: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ delivered a speech and mentioned a man among his Companions who had died. He had been buried at night and wrapped in a shroud that was not sufficient. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ rebuked (them) and said that no one should be buried at night unless constrained to do that. And the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: When one of you wants to takes care of his brother, let him shroud him well." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
"Shroud him well" denotes that cloth ought to be clean and tidy, not unclean and dirty. It should be of some moderate price, and should not appear inadequate to the look. And the common people should have been customarily using it. It should be plain, not decorative.
