أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، ثنا رَزِينُ بَيَّاعُ الرُّمَّانِ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ: صَلَّى ابْنُ عُمَرَ عَلَى زَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، وَأُمِّهِ أُمِّ كُلْثُومِ بِنْتِ عَلِيٍّ، فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلَ مِمَّا يَلِي الْإِمَامَ، وَالْمَرْأَةَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ، فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِمَا أَرْبَعًا وَخَلْفَهُ ابْنُ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ، وَالْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا وَمِمَّنْ رُوِّينَا عَنْهُ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ أَنَّهُ كَبَّرَ أَرْبَعًا، عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، وَالْبَرَاءُ بْنُ عَازِبٍ، وَأَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، وَعُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ.
Al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) offered the funeral prayer over Zayd bin Umar and his mother, Umm Kulthum bint Ali; he placed the man next to the imam and the woman behind him, and said four takbirs over them. Behind him were Ibn al-Hanafiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him), Husayn bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both) and Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both).
It is also reported from the Companions that Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him), Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) and Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) said four takbirs.
