من كان يكبر على الجنازة سبعا وتسعاSome scholars say there are seven or nine takbirs in the funeral prayer
Hadith 11805
١١٨٠٥ - حدثنا محمد بن فضيل عن حصين عن أبي مالك قال: صلى رسول اللَّه ﷺ على حمزة، فكان يجاء بتسعة فيوضعون معه فيصلي عليهم، ثم يرفعون (ويترك) (١) (حمزة) (٢)، ويجاء بتسعة آخرين، فلم يزل كذلك حتى صلى عليهم جميعًا (٣).
Hazrat Abu Malik narrates that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led the funeral prayer of Hazrat Hamza in such a way that nine other bodies were placed alongside him; after the funeral prayer, those nine were taken away and the body of Hazrat Hamza remained there. Then nine more bodies were brought, and this continued in the same manner until the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had completed the funeral prayers for all the bodies.
