Do not be extravagant in shrouding, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Do not be extravagant in shrouding, for it will be quickly decayed.  

أبو داود:٣١٥٤حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الْمُحَارِبِيُّ

حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ هَاشِمٍ أَبُو مَالِكٍ الْجَنْبِيُّ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَنْ عَامِرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ قَالَ لاَ تَغَالِ لِي فِي كَفَنٍ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ تَغَالَوْا فِي الْكَفَنِ فَإِنَّهُ يُسْلَبُهُ سَلْبًا سَرِيعًا
