Abdur Rahman bin Abi Laila reports: Sayyiduna Zaid bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say four takbirs in our funeral (prayers), then he started saying five takbirs. We asked him about this, so he informed us: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did this (i.e., the fifth takbir)—the narrator is in doubt, perhaps these are the words—that he (the Prophet) also said (five takbirs).
