Hadith.449 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said:
"When (my son) Ismail died, I ordered that his body, while covered, be uncovered so that I could kiss his forehead, chin, and neck.
Then, I had him covered again and later ordered that he be uncovered a second time, and I kissed his forehead, chin, and neck once more. Then, I had him covered again.
After that, I instructed that he be washed. When the washing was completed, I entered while he was being shrouded and said: 'Uncover his face,' and I kissed his forehead, chin, and neck and then recited protective supplications over him.
I then said: 'Wrap him.'
Someone asked: 'With what did you offer the protective supplication?'
Imam (as) replied: 'With the Qur'an.'"
