Qutaybah narrated to us: Abu al-Ahwas narrated to us, from Abu Ishaq, from Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Aswad, from Alqamah and al-Aswad, from Abd Allah ibn Masud, who said: The Messenger of Allah used to say the takbir at every lowering and rising, and while standing and sitting; Abu Bakr and Umar did likewise.
Reports on this subject are also related from Abu Hurayrah, Anas, Ibn Umar, Abu Malik al-Ashari, Abu Musa, Imran ibn Husayn, Wa’il ibn Hujr, and Ibn Abbas. Abu Isa said: The hadith of Abd Allah ibn Masud is hasan sahih. The Companions of the Prophet acted on this, including Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, and others, as did the Successors after them. This is the view of the great majority of jurists and scholars.
