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)

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.
