Is the imam's action valid if he says takbir for the prostration of recitation but not when rising?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Our regular imam says takbir when he prostrates for recitation, but he does not say takbir when he rises from it. I told him that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says takbir in every lowering and raising, and he said that this is the opinion of some scholars, and he mentioned a hadith to me. Is his statement correct?

Answer:
This is not a statement; it is a hadith that was a report of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) action. So this imam erred in this: he says takbir when prostrating, recites when descending, and says takbir when rising. This is the Sunnah. Yes.
