Imaam Qushaieree (Allaah be pleased with him) has narrated from a pious person who was a shroud stealer in the past. He says:

A woman died hence the people offered her funeral prayers, this shroud stealer also read and stayed with them too at the time of burial, so that he can identify the grave. When the silence of the night approached, then he dug the grave of this woman. And so, this woman said from inside the grave,

Subhaanal Laah, a forgiven man takes the shroud of a forgiven woman. The man said, I accept that you have been forgiven by Allaah but how have I been forgiven! Therefore, this woman replied, that undoubtedly Almighty Allaah has forgiven me and all those people who participated in my funeral prayers. And certainly, you have also read my [funeral] Salaah, so he left it and levelled the mud. Then he repented, and his repentance was done very well.
