[Machine] I prayed behind Eisa, the master of Hudhayfa, in Madinah at a funeral. He made five takbeers (saying Allahu Akbar) and then turned towards us and said, "I did not forget or confuse, but I made takbeer as my master, the one who was favored by Allah, Hudhayfa ibn al-Yaman, did; and my guide, the messenger of Allah ﷺ , made takbeer as well when praying upon a deceased person. He made five takbeers."  

صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ عِيسَى مَوْلًى لِحُذَيْفَةَ بِالْمَدَائِنِ عَلَى جَنَازَةٍ فَكَبَّرَ خَمْسًا ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ مَا وَهِمْتُ وَلَا نَسِيتُ وَلَكِنْ كَبَّرْتُ كَمَا كَبَّرَ مَوْلَايَ وَوَلِيُّ نِعْمَتِي حُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ الْيَمَانِ صَلَّى عَلَى جَنَازَةٍ وَكَبَّرَ خَمْسًا ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ مَا نَسِيتُ وَلَا وَهِمْتُ وَلَكِنْ كَبَّرْتُ كَمَا كَبَّرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى عَلَى جَنَازَةٍ فَكَبَّرَ خَمْسًا
