Sunan Ibn Majah, Chapter: Chapters Regarding Funerals

"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.'"
