English translation

1083. It was narrated that Muṭarrif said: "Imrān bin Ḥuṣain and I prayed behind 'Alī bin Abī Ṭālib. When he prostrated he said the Takbīr, and when he raised his head from prostration he said the Takbīr, and when he stood up following two Rak'ahs he said the Takbīr, and when he had finished praying, 'Imrān took my hand and said: 'This reminded me of - he said a word meaning - the prayer of Muḥammad ﷺ.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

1082 - أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عَرَبِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ غَيْلَانَ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، قَالَ: صَلَّيْتُ أَنَا وَعِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ خَلْفَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، «فَكَانَ إِذَا سَجَدَ كَبَّرَ، وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السُّجُودِ كَبَّرَ، وَإِذَا نَهَضَ مِنَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ كَبَّرَ»، فَلَمَّا قَضَى أَخَذَ عِمْرَانُ بِيَدِي، فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ ذَكَّرَنِي هَذَا ـ قَالَ كَلِمَةً يَعْنِي ـ صَلَاةَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

Commentary

It has preceded that during the lifetime of the Companions, some prayer-leaders had become slothful in the matter of pronouncing the Takbīr. Either they did not pronounce it at all, or pronounced it in a very low tone, rather in a whisper. It was a sort of aberration without a plausible reason. Therefore, what they did was worth denouncing. But if there is any genuine excuse to do what they did, then that will be an altogether different matter.
