[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Cover the faces of your dead and do not resemble the Jews." This hadith is supported by the narration of Ibrahim ibn Abi Huraitha regarding the act of covering the face. However, Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz and Abu Saeed ibn Abi Amr informed us that Abu Al-Abbas Muhammad ibn Ya'qub narrated to them, who was narrated by Abdullah ibn Ahmad ibn Hanbal, and some of the people of Kufa, namely Abdul Rahman ibn Saleh, mentioned this hadith in a similar manner. Abdullah said, "I narrated it to my father, and he rejected it, saying that Hafs made a mistake in it." He then raised it and narrated to me from Hajjaj ibn Muhammad, who narrated from Ibn Juraij, who narrated from Ata' as Mursal, saying, "The scholar said, 'And likewise.'"
