English Translation

Abd al-Samad narrated to us, Abd al-Aziz ibn Muslim narrated to us, Yahya ibn Abdullah al-Jabir narrated to us, who said: I prayed behind Isa, a freedman of Hudhayfah, at al-Mada'in, over a funeral, and he said the takbir five times. Then he turned to us and said: I did not err nor forget, but I said the takbir as my patron and benefactor Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman said it — he prayed over a funeral and said the takbir five times, then turned to us and said: I did not forget nor err, but I said the takbir as the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said it when he prayed over a funeral and said the takbir five times.
