"عَنْ أبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ: كَانُوا يُكَبِّرُونَ فِي زمن النَّبي ﷺ سَبْعًا وَخَمْسًا وأَرْبعًا حَتَّى كان في زمن عُمَرَ فجمعَهُم فَسأَلَهُمْ، فَأَخْبَر كُلُّ رَجُلٍ منْهم بما رأى، فَجَمَعَهُم على أربع تكبيرات كأَطْوَلِ الصَّلَاةِ".

"On the authority of Abu Wa'il who said: They used to say takbir in the time of the Prophet ﷺ seven, five and four times, until in the time of 'Umar he gathered them and asked them, and each man informed them of what he had seen, so he gathered them upon four takbirs, like the longest of prayers."
