حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ. ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كَانَ زَيْدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَرْقَمَ يُكَبِّرُ عَلَى جَنَائِزِنَا أَرْبَعًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنَّهُ كَبَّرَ عَلَى جَنَازَةٍ خَمْسًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَسَأَلْتُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُكَبِّرُهَا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ وَأَنَا لِحَدِيثِ ابْنِ الْمُثَنَّى أَتْقَنُ.

Zaid bin Arqam رضی اللہ عنہ used to utter four takbirs (Allah is Most Great) over our dead person (during prayer). He uttered five takbirs on a dead person. So I asked him. He replied: The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم used to utter those. Abu Dawud said: I remember the tradition of Ibn al-Muthanna in a more guarded way.
