[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When you wrap the deceased, perform an odd number of wraps." Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz informed us, Abu al-Abbas Muhammad ibn Ya'qub narrated to us, Abu Abbas ibn Muhammad said, "I heard Yahya ibn Ma'in and I remembered this hadith, so Yahya said, 'No one narrated it except Yahya ibn Adam.'
