Yahya bin Abdullah al-Jabir says: In al-Mada'in I offered a funeral prayer behind Isa, the freed slave of Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said five takbirs. Then he turned towards us and said: "I have neither been mistaken nor forgotten; rather, I said the takbir just as my master and benefactor, Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him), said it. He said five takbirs while leading a funeral prayer, and then turned towards us and said: 'I have neither forgotten nor been mistaken; rather, I said the takbir just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said it. He said five takbirs in a funeral prayer.'"
Ahmad recorded it. The narrator Yahya al-Jabir has been criticised.
