1503. Al-Hajari said: "I prayed with 'Abdullâh bin Abi Awfa Al-Aslami, the Companion of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, offering the funeral prayer for a daughter of his. He said Takbir over her four times, and he paused for a while after the fourth. I heard the people saying Subhân-Allâh to him throughout the rows. Then he said the Salâm and said: 'Did you think that I was going to say a fifth Takbir?' They said: 'We were afraid of that.' He said: 'I was not going to do that, but the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ used to say four Takbir, then pause for a while, and he would say whatever Allâh willed he should say, then he would say the Salâm.'" (Da'if)

Commentary
It is known from this, that Allâh's Messenger ﷺ would sometimes make a final salutation immediately after the fourth Takbir to end the funeral prayer, and sometimes he would invoke a supplication after the fourth
Takbir and then make the final salutation. Therefore both Ahādīth are correct.
