A similar tradition has also been narrated by Ibn 'Abbas through a different chain of narrators. This version has:
"Shroud him in two garments."
Abu Dawud said: The narrator Sulaiman said the Ayyub said: "his two garments," 'Amr said: "tow garments," Ibn 'Ubaid said that Ayyub said: "in two garments" and Amr said: "in his two garments." Sulaiman alone added: "do not put any perfume on him."
Reported by Abu Dawud (No. 3239, 3240).
