It is narrated from Hazrat Abi that when the last moments of Hazrat Adam approached, he instructed his sons to bring him fruits from Paradise. So they set out, and when they met the angels, the angels said, "Return, for Allah Almighty has commanded the soul of your father to be taken." The angels returned with them, took his soul, and brought with them a shroud and fragrance. They said to his sons, "Attend to him, give him a bath, shroud him, apply fragrance, and offer prayer over him." Then it was said, "O children of Adam! This is the tradition of your father."
