Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
shrouded his son Waqid ibn Abdullah, who had died at al-Juhfa while in
ihram, and he veiled his head and face and said, "If we had not been
in ihram we would have perfumed him. "
Malik said, "A man can
only do things while he is alive. When he is dead, his actions stop."
