English translation
1022. Abū Hurairah narrated: "The Prophet ﷺ prayed and in the funeral prayer he for An-Najāshī, said four Takbir." (He said:) There are narrations on this topic from Ibn 'Abbās, Ibn Abī Awfa, Jābir, Anas, and Yazīd bin Thābit. Abū 'Eisā said: Yazīd bin Thābit is the brother of Zaid bin Thābit, and he is older than him. He participated in (the battle of) Badr, while Zaid did not participate in Badr. (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth of Abū Hurairah is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth. This is acted upon according to most of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others. They thought that there should be four Takbīr for the funeral (prayer). This is the saying of Sufyān Ath-Thawrī, Mālik bin Anās, Ibn Al-Mubārak, Ash-Shāfi'ī, Aḥmad, and Ishāq.
