Sunan Ibn Majah

"I prayed with Abdullah bin Abi Awfa Al-Aslami, the Companion of the Messenger of Allah (saw), offering the funeral prayer for a daughter of his. He said Takbir over her four times, and he paused for a while after the fourth. I heard the people saying Subhan- Allah to him throughout the rows. Then he said the Salam and said: 'Did you think that I was going to say a fifth Takbir?' They said: 'We were afraid of that.' He said: 'I was not going to do that, but the Messenger of Allah (saw) used to say four Takbir, then pause for a while, and he would say whatever Allah willed he should say, then he would say the Salam.'"

Would that Allah had let him live until he had finished breastfeeding.' The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'He will complete his breastfeeding in Paradise.'
