While offering the funeral prayer of one of his daughters, he recited four Takbi

Kiarabu

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)).

Kutoka kwa 'Abdullah bin Abu Aufa (Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yao) reported: "While offering the funeral swala 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 msamaha for her." Then he said: "The Mjumbe wa Allah (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake) used to do so."Another narration is: He (Abdullah) recited four Takbir and remained standing in swala 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 Mjumbe wa Allah (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake) doing," or he said: "The Mjumbe wa Allah (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake) used to do so."."
