حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْبَدٍ، مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يُخْبِرُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ مَا كُنَّا نَعْرِفُ انْقِضَاءَ صَلاَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلاَّ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ . قَالَ عَمْرٌو فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لأَبِي مَعْبَدٍ فَأَنْكَرَهُ وَقَالَ لَمْ أُحَدِّثْكَ بِهَذَا . قَالَ عَمْرٌو وَقَدْ أَخْبَرَنِيهِ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ .
Ibn 'Abbas Narrated from:
We knew the finishing of the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) through takbir. 'Amr (b. Dinar) said: I made a mention of it to Abu Mas'ud. hue he rejected it and said: I never narrated it to you. 'Amr said: He did narrate it before this.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 583b
This hadith about knowing the prayer ended through takbir comes from Ibn Abbas. He reported that they did not know the end of the Messenger of Allah’s prayer except through the takbir. The report also includes a note about Amr mentioning it to Abu Ma'bad, Abu Ma'bad rejecting it, and Amr saying he had narrated it before. The main subject, however, remains the takbir after prayer. The hadith shows that a heard act of remembrance marked the completion of prayer for those present. It is useful for searches about dhikr after obligatory prayer and takbir after salah. The explanation should stay with the text: the companions recognized the end of prayer when they heard takbir.
What we learn from this hadith
- Ibn Abbas linked the end of the Prophet’s prayer with hearing takbir.
- The narration points to audible remembrance after prayer.
- The report includes a note about transmission and later rejection.
- The companions observed signs connected to the end of salah.
