[Machine] I saw him and he recited the funeral prayer for four, then he stood for an hour, meaning that he was supplicating. Then he said, "Do you see me raising my hands four times?" They said, "No." He said, "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to raise his hands four times." And it was also narrated by Ibrahim Al-Hajari from Ibn Abi Awfa with the same meaning, except that he said, "They said, 'We have seen that.'" He said, "I would not have done so if the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not do it. He used to raise his hands four times, then he would stay however long Allah willed." Abu Abdullah Al-Hafith narrated to us, Abu Al-Abbas reported to us, Muhammad ibn Ishaq reported, Ja'far ibn Awn reported, Ibrahim Al-Hajari mentioned it in a story he mentioned from Ibn Abi Awfa.
