Sha'bi reported that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) observed prayer over a grave after the dead was buried and he recited four takbirs over him. Shaibani said: I said to Sha'bi: Who narrated it to you? He said: An authentic one, 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas. This is the word of a hasan hadith. In the narration of Ibn Numair (the words are): The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) went to the grave which had been newly prepared and prayed over it, and they also prayed who were behind him and he recited four takbirs. I said to 'Amir: Who narrated it to you? He said: An authentic one who saw him, i e. Ibn 'Abbas.

This hadith has been narrated through another chain of transmitters, but in one of them (these words are found):" The Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) recited four takbirs."
