Quotation for Pesachim 52:6
ת"ש מוכרי כסות מוכרין כדרכן ובלבד שלא יתכוין בחמה מפני החמה ובגשמים מפני הגשמים והצנועין מפשילין לאחוריהם במקל
Though this heifer had threshed, it remains fit, because it had been taken into the team to feed, not to thresh. [thereby] destroy it,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'burn it'.');"><sup>9</sup></span> either through an evil eye or through thieves.
Rashba on Niddah
This was only taught for the eulogy, but for burial it is forbidden. Because shatnez is not forbidden by the Torah, but rather wearing, and rising up [from the grave] is comparable to wearing, but the eulogy is only for an individual's honor, and is comparable to one who sells clothing [with shatnez to non-Jews] in the normal manner. However burial is comparable to wearing and because of this, wearing [shatnez] is forbidden for the one who says mitzvot aren't nullified [in the world to come].
