I saw a man at the Maqam saying takbir at every lowering and rising, when he stood up and when he set himself down. I mentioned this to Ibn Abbas ﷺ, and he said, "Is that not the prayer of the Prophet ﷺ? Confound you!"
رأيت رجلا عند المقام يكبر في كل خفض ورفع، وإذا قام وإذا وضع، فأخبرت ابن عباس ﷺ قال: أو ليس تلك صلاة النبي ﷺ لا لا أم لك.
Bukhari narrated it in the chapter on the adhan (787), from Amr bin Awn, who said, Hushaym narrated to us, from Abu Bishr, from Ikrima, and he mentioned it. He also narrated it from Musa bin Ismail, who said, Hammam informed us, from Qatada, from Ikrima, who said, "I prayed behind an old man in Makkah, and he said the takbir twenty-two times. So I said to Ibn Abbas, 'He is a fool.'" He said, "May your mother be bereaved of you, this is the sunnah of Abu Qasim ﷺ."Musa said, Aban narrated to us, Qatada narrated to us, Ikrima narrated to us, meaning that Qatada explicitly used the wording "narrated to us" in it.In a narration recorded by Ahmad (2257), Tabarani (11918), and Tahawi (1/221), through the route of Abdullah Danaj, with a nun and a jim, who said, Ikrima, the freed slave of Ibn Abbas, narrated to us, and said, "I prayed behind Abu Hurairah." He said, "Whenever he bowed and whenever he prostrated, he said the takbir." He said, "So I mentioned that to Ibn Abbas, and he said, 'You have no mother, or is that not the sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?'" This is the wording of Ahmad.Abdullah Danaj is Ibn Firuz, the scholar knowledgeable in Persian, and he is trustworthy.
