The iqamah for the morning prayer was pronounced and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began to offer prayer while he was looking at the mountain-pass. (AbuDawud elaborated that the Prophet had sent a horseman to the mountain-pass at night in order to keep watch.)
ثُوِّبَ بِالصَّلاَةِ يَعْنِي صَلاَةَ الصُّبْحِ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ يَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى الشِّعْبِ
[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ performed the prayer, meaning the Fajr prayer, and he prayed while looking towards the people. Abu Dawud said: meaning he sent someone to guard the people during the night.
ثُوِّبَ بِالصَّلَاةِ يَعْنِي صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ يَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى الشِّعْبِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ يَعْنِي وَكَانَ أَرْسَلَ فَارِسًا إِلَى الشِّعْبِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ يَحْرُسُ
