It is narrated from Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I performed a prayer behind Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), and he reminded me of that prayer which I had performed with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the two caliphs. Mutarrif says: (Upon hearing this) I went and prayed with him, (I saw that) when he would go into prostration and when he would raise his head from bowing, he would say the takbeer. Then I asked: O Abu Najid! Who was the first to abandon this method? He said: When Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) became old and his voice became weak, he abandoned it.
