735 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الْهَجَرِيًّ، أَنَّهُ رَأَي عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَي فِي جِنَازَةِ ابْنَةٍ لَهُ عَلَي بَغْلَةٍ تُقَادُ بِهِ، فَيَقُولُ لِلْقَائِدِ أَيْنَ أَنَا مِنْهَا؟ فَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُ: أَمَامَهَا، قَالَ: أَحْبِسِ، قَالَ: وَرَأَيْتُهُ حِينَ صَلَّي عَلَيْهَا كَبَّرَ أَرْبَعًا، ثُمَّ قَامَ سَاعَةً، فَسَبَّحَ بِهِ الْقَوْمُ فَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَكُنْتُمْ تَرَوْنَ أَنِّي أَزِيدُ عَلَي أَرْبَعٍ وَقَدْ «رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَبَّرَ أَرْبَعًا، وَسَمِعَ نِسَاءً يَرْثِينَ فَنَهَاهُنَّ» ، وَقَالَ: «سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْهَي عَنِ الْمَرَاثِي»
Ibrahim bin Muslim Hadi narrates: He saw Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) participating in the funeral of his daughter. He was riding a mule, which was being led forward. So he said to the one leading the mule: "Where am I in relation to the funeral?" When he was told: "You are ahead of it," he said: "Stop it." The narrator says: I saw him say four takbirs in the funeral prayer for that woman, then he stood for a little while, so the attendees began to say "Subhan Allah" (i.e., they wanted to draw his attention). Then he said the salam. He said: "Did you think that I would say more than four takbirs, while I saw the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say four takbirs?" Then he heard some women reciting elegies, so he forbade them from it and said: "I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) forbidding the recitation of elegies."

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefit:
From this, it is understood that the practice of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was both to give the salutation (salam) immediately after the fourth takbir, and also to recite a supplication (dua) after the fourth takbir and then give the salutation. Therefore, both methods are correct. According to some scholars, the aforementioned narration is hasan (good).
