Hadith 788

Sahih

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ شَيْخٍ بِمَكَّةَ فَكَبَّرَ ثِنْتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ تَكْبِيرَةً، فَقُلْتُ لاِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِنَّهُ أَحْمَقُ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ، سُنَّةُ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ صلى الله عليه وسلم‏.‏ وَقَالَ مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ‏.‏

I prayed behind an old at Mecca and he said twenty two Takbirs (during the prayer). I told Ibn `Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما that he (i.e. that Sheikh) was foolish. Ibn `Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما admonished me and said, "This is the Sunnah of Abul-Qasim." Musa, Abaan and Qatadah have also reported it from Ikrimah.
