1048. Ibn 'Abbās narrated: "A red velvet cloth was placed in the grave of the Prophet ﷺ." (Sahih)
(He said: In another place, Muḥammad bin Bash-shār said: 'Muḥammad bin Ja'far and Yahya bin Shu'bah narrated to us, from Abī Jamrah, from Ibn 'Abbās," and this is more correct.)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Hasan Sahih. Shu'bah reports from Abū Ḥamzah Al-Qaṣṣāb, and his
name is 'Imrān bin Abī 'Aṭā'. He also reports from Abū Jamrah Ad-Dubā'i. His name is Naṣr bin 'Imrān, and both of them report from Ibn 'Abbās.
It has been reported from Ibn 'Abbās that he disliked placing anything under the deceased in the grave, and some of the people of knowledge followed that.

Commentary
Shuqrān, a freed slave of the Prophet ﷺ, placed the sheet of the Prophet ﷺ in the grave with him, with the intention to prevent its use by others. But when the other Companions came to know they pulled the sheet out of the grave. It can be inferred from this incident that it is not proper to put any cloth under the shroud. (Tuhfat Al-Ahwaḍhī v. 2 p.153.)
