TAKBIRS AT A FUNERAL
|H 953
“When he (Abdullah, the son of Aufa) conducted the funeral prayer
of his daughter he called four 'takbirs'. After the fourth 'takbir' he
remained standing for as long as the time spent between two takbirs
seeking forgiveness for her and praying for her. When he finished
he said, „The Prophet used to do this.‟"
We are also informed:
“He made four takbirs and remained standing in prayer for a while
until I thought he would call a fifth takbir. Then he made the greeting
to the right and to the left. When he came away we asked him,
„What is this?‟ He answered, „I would add nothing to that which I had
seen the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, do.‟ Or
he said, „The Messenger of Allah did this.‟"
