Hadith 1503
حَدَّثَنَا
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 " .
´Al-Hajari said:` “I prayed with ‘Abdullah bin Abi Awfa Al-Aslami, 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.’”
