Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ نا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ ثُوَيْرِ بْنِ أَبِي فَاخِتَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ نَقَصَ التَّكْبِيرَ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ نَقَصُوهَا نَقَصَهُمُ اللَّهُ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُكَبِّرُ كُلَّمَا رَكَعَ وَكُلَّمَا سَجَدَ وَكُلَّمَا رَفَعَ نَقَصَهُمُ اللَّهُ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُكَبِّرُ كُلَّمَا رَكَعَ وَكُلَّمَا سَجَدَ وَكُلَّمَا رَفَعَ
English Translation
Yusuf ibn Musa narrated to us, he said: Ubaidullah ibn Musa narrated to us, from Isra'il, from Thuwayr ibn Abi Fakhitah, from his father, from Ibn Mas'ud, who said: The first to reduce the takbir was al-Walid ibn Uqbah. Abdullah said: They reduced it — may Allah reduce them! Indeed, I saw the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) pronouncing takbir every time he bowed, every time he prostrated, and every time he raised himself.
