Riyad as-Salihin — Hadith #46124

On the authority of Abdullah bin Abi Awfi, may God be pleased with them both, that he said four times “Allahu Akbar” at the funeral of his daughter, so he stood up after the fourth, as much as between the two “Allahu Akbar,” asking for forgiveness for her and praying for her, then he said: The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, used to do this. And in a narration: He said “Allahu Akbar” four times, and he stayed for an hour until I thought he would say “Allahu Akbar” five times, then he said to his right and to his left. When he left, we said to him: What is this? He said: I will not tell you more about what I saw The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, did, or: This is what the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, did ((Narrated by Al-Hakim and said: an authentic hadith)).
