حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَائِ وَابْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ الْمَعْنَی قَرِيبٌ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ حُبَابٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مَکْحُولٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عَائِشَةَ جَلِيسٌ لِأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْعَاصِ سَأَلَ أَبَا مُوسَی الْأَشْعَرِيَّ وَحُذَيْفَةَ بْنَ الْيَمَانِ کَيْفَ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُکَبِّرُ فِي الْأَضْحَی وَالْفِطْرِ فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَی کَانَ يُکَبِّرُ أَرْبَعًا تَکْبِيرَهُ عَلَی الْجَنَائِزِ فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ صَدَقَ فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَی کَذَلِکَ کُنْتُ أُکَبِّرُ فِي الْبَصْرَةِ حَيْثُ کُنْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ و قَالَ أَبُو عَائِشَةَ وَأَنَا حَاضِرٌ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْعَاصِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1153
Abu Aishah said: Saeed bin al-As asked Abu Musa al-Ashari and Hudhaifah bin al-Yaman: How would the Messenger of Allah ﷺ utter the takbir (Allah is most great) in the prayer of the day of sacrifice and of the breaking of the fast. Abu Musa said: He uttered takbir four times as he did at funerals. Hudhaifah said: He is correct. Then Abu Musa said: I used to utter the takbir in a similar way when I was the governor of Basrah. Abu Aishah said: I was present there when Saeed bin al-As asked.
