Chapter 8 · Chapter Regarding Funeralsحَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمُحَارِبِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْهَجَرِيُّ، قَالَ: صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى الْأَسْلَمِيِّ صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى جِنَازَةِ ابْنَةٍ لَهُ، فَكَبَّرَ عَلَيْهَا أَرْبَعًا، فَمَكَثَ بَعْدَ الرَّابِعَةِ شَيْئًا، قَالَ: فَسَمِعْتُ الْقَوْمَ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِهِ مِنْ نَوَاحِي الصُّفُوفِ فَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَكُنْتُمْ تَرَوْنَ أَنِّي مُكَبِّرٌ خَمْسًا؟، قَالُوا: تَخَوَّفْنَا ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: لَمْ أَكُنْ لِأَفْعَلَ، وَلَكِنْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: كَانَ يُكَبِّرُ أَرْبَعًا، ثُمَّ يَمْكُثُ سَاعَةً، فَيَقُولُ: مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ، ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمُ.

“I prayed with ‘Abdullah bin Abi Awfa Al-Aslami رضی اللہ عنہ , the Companion of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), offering the funeral prayer for a daughter of his. He said Takbir over her four times, and he paused for a while after the fourth. I heard the people saying Subhan- Allah to him throughout the rows. Then he said the Salam and said: ‘Did you think that I was going to say a fifth Takbir?’ They said: ‘We were afraid of that.’ He said: ‘I was not going to do that, but the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say four Takbir, then pause for a while, and he would say whatever Allah willed he should say, then he would say the Salam.’”
