It
appears that early believers also were not clear on this matter and repeated
their question to Baha'u'llah, and His answer never changed: "use of
five cloths", or "use of one cloth" when a
person is devoid of means. As Baha'u'llah has stressed on this short answer
itself indicates that His intention was to make this procedure extremely simple
and flexible, and it appears that all details are left for those in charge of
the burial process. But instead of making an elaborate material part
for the burial, He made the spiritual part very elaborate by revealing the
prayer for the dead which consists of 19 repetitions of the 6
verses!
