Zaid b. Arqam used to utter four takbirs (Allah is Most Great) over our dead person (during prayer). He uttered five takbirs on a dead person. So I asked him. He replied: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to utter those. Abu Dawud said: I remember the tradition of Ibn al-Muthanna in a more guarded way.
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُكَبِّرُهَا
That Zaid bin Arqam offered the funeral prayer and said the Takbir five times, and said that the Messenger of Allah had said the Takbir like this.
وَقَالَ كَبَّرَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
"Zaid bin Arqam would say four Takbir for our funerals. (Once) he said five Takbir for a funeral so we asked him about that and he said: 'The Messenger of Allah would say those Takbir.'"
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُكَبِّرُهَا
"Messenger of Allah would say the Takhir while he was going down."

“Zaid bin Arqan used to say the Takbir four times in the funeral prayer, and he said the Takbir five times for one funeral. I asked him (about that) and he said: ‘The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do that.’”
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُكَبِّرُهَا
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to go to Quba (to pray), he would walk as well as ride.
