Al-Hajari said:
"I prayed with 'Abdullah bin Abi Awfa Al-Aslami,theCompanion of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), offering the funeralprayerfor a daughter of his. He said Takbir over her four times, andhepaused for a while after the fourth. I heard the people sayingSubhan-Allah to him throughout the rows. Then he said the Salam andsaid:'Did you think that I was going to say a fifth Takbir?'They said: 'Wewere afraid of that.' He said: 'I was not goingto do that, but theMessenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say four Takbir,then pause for awhile, and he would say whatever Allah willed heshould say, then hewould say the Salam.'"
