Sahl b. Abu Hathma reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led his Companions in prayer in danger. He made them stand in two rows behind him. He led them who were close to him in one rak'ah. He then stood up and kept standing till those who were behind them observed one rak'ah. Then they (those standing in the second row) came in front and those who were in front went into the rear. He then led them In one rak'ah. He then sat down, till those who were behind him observed one rak'ah and then pronounced salutation.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَّى بِأَصْحَابِهِ فِي الْخَوْفِ فَصَفَّهُمْ خَلْفَهُ صَفَّيْنِ فَصَلَّى بِالَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ قَامَ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ قَائِمًا حَتَّى صَلَّى الَّذِينَ خَلْفَهُمْ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمُوا وَتَأَخَّرَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا قُدَّامَهُمْ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ قَعَدَ حَتَّى صَلَّى الَّذِينَ تَخَلَّفُوا رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led them in offering the fear prayer. Some formed a row behind him and some formed a row facing the enemy. He led them in praying one rak'ah, then they moved away and the others came, and he led them in praying one rak'ah, then they got up and each (group) made up the other rak'ah.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَّى بِهِمْ صَلاَةَ الْخَوْفِ فَصَفَّ صَفًّا خَلْفَهُ وَصَفًّا مُصَافُّو الْعَدُوِّ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ هَؤُلاَءِ وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ قَامُوا فَقَضَوْا رَكْعَةً رَكْعَةً  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led them in offering the fear prayer. One row stood in front of him and another row stood behind him. He led those who were behind in prayer, bowing once and prostrating twice, then they moved forward until they took the place of their companions, and the others came and took their place, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led them in prayer, bowing once and prostrating twice, then he said the taslim, so the Prophet ﷺ had prayed two rak'ahs and they had prayed one.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَّى بِهِمْ صَلاَةَ الْخَوْفِ فَقَامَ صَفٌّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَصَفٌّ خَلْفَهُ صَلَّى بِالَّذِينَ خَلْفَهُ رَكْعَةً وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ هَؤُلاَءِ حَتَّى قَامُوا فِي مَقَامِ أَصْحَابِهِمْ وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ فَقَامُوا مَقَامَ هَؤُلاَءِ وَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَكْعَةً وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ فَكَانَتْ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَكْعَتَانِ وَلَهُمْ رَكْعَةٌ  

The Prophet ﷺ prayed in time of danger and divided them (the people) behind him in two rows. He then led those who were near him in one rak'ah. Then he stood and remained standing till those who were in second row offered one rak'ah. Thereafter they came forward and those who were in front of them (in the first row) stepped backward. The Prophet ﷺ led them in one rak'ah of prayer. He sat down till those who were in the second row completed on rak'ah. He then uttered the salutation.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى بِأَصْحَابِهِ فِي خَوْفٍ فَجَعَلَهُمْ خَلْفَهُ صَفَّيْنِ فَصَلَّى بِالَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ قَامَ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ قَائِمًا حَتَّى صَلَّى الَّذِينَ خَلْفَهُمْ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمُوا وَتَأَخَّرَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا قُدَّامَهُمْ فَصَلَّى بِهِمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ قَعَدَ حَتَّى صَلَّى الَّذِينَ تَخَلَّفُوا رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ  

[Machine] On the authority of Sahl ibn Abi Hathmah, it was reported that Abdurrahman raised his hands to the Prophet ﷺ . And regarding Yahya, he mentioned from Sahl that he said, the Imam stands and there is a description behind him and a description in front of him. He prays the prayer with those behind him, a unit of prayer, two prostrations, then he stands until they pray another unit of prayer, then they move forward to the place of their companions. Then those (companions) come and stand in the place of those (who were behind the Imam) and he prays a unit of prayer with them, two prostrations, then he sits until they complete another unit of prayer, then he offers them the greeting (of peace).  

عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ أَمَّا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَرَفَعَهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَمَّا يَحْيَى فَذَكَرَ عَنْ سَهْلٍ قَالَ يَقُومُ الْإِمَامُ وَصَفٌّ خَلْفَهُ وَصَفٌّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَيُصَلِّي بِالَّذِي خَلْفَهُ رَكْعَةً وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ قَائِمًا حَتَّى يُصَلُّوا رَكْعَةً أُخْرَى ثُمَّ يَتَقَدَّمُونَ إِلَى مَكَانِ أَصْحَابِهِمْ ثُمَّ يَجِيءُ أُولَئِكَ فَيَقُومُونَ مَقَامَ هَؤُلَاءِ فَيُصَلِّي بِهِمْرَكْعَةً وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَقْعُدُ حَتَّى يَقْضُوا رَكْعَةً أُخْرَى ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِمْ
