Ibrahim al-Hajari said: We had Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) lead us in the funeral prayer of his daughter. He said four takbirs, then remained silent for a while. We thought he might say a fifth takbir; then he gave the salam to his right and his left. When he finished, we said: What was this? He said: I will not do more than what I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) doing; he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do it like this, or he said: he (peace and blessings be upon him) did it like this. Then he mounted his riding animal and said to the servant: Where am I? He said: In front of the funeral. He said: Did I not forbid you? He had become blind.
