وعن عبد الله بن أبي أوفي رضي الله عنهما أنه كبر علي جنازة ابنة له أربع تكبيرات، فقام بعد الرابعة كقدر ما بين التكبيرتين يستغفر لها ويدعو، ثم قال‏:‏ كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يصنع هكذا‏.‏ وفي رواية‏:‏ ‏ ‏كبر أربعاً، فمكث ساعة حتي ظننت أنه سيكبر خمساً، ثم سلم عن يمينه وعن شماله‏.‏ فلما انصرف قلنا له‏:‏ ما هذا‏؟‏ فقال‏:‏ إني لا أزيدكم علي ما رأيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يصنع، أو‏:‏ هكذا صنع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ ‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه الحاكم وقال‏:‏ حديث صحيح‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

While offering the funeral prayer of one of his daughters, he recited four Takbir, and after the fourth Takbir he continued standing for a time equal to an interval between two Takbir, praying for her and seeking Allah's forgiveness for her." Then he said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to do so." Another narration is: He (Abdullah) recited four Takbir and remained standing in prayer for some time till we thought that he would recite the fifth Takbir. Then he gave Salam on the right and on the left. When he turned aside, we asked him about it. He replied: "I would add nothing to what I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) doing," or he said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to do so." [Al-Hakim].
