I observed prayer in danger with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We drew ourselves up in two rows, one row behind him with the enemy between us and the Qibla. The Apostle of Allah ﷺ said: Allah is Most Great, and we all said it. He then bowed and we all bowed. He then raised his head from bowing, we all raised (our heads). He then went down in prostration along with the row close to him, and the rear row faced the enemy; then when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ completed the prostration, ; and then stood up, the row near to him also did it; then went down the rear row in prostration; then they stood up; then the rear row went to the front and the front row went to the rear. Then the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) bowed down and we all bowed. He then raised his head from bowing and we also raised (our heads). He and the row close to him which I had been in the rear then went down in prostration In the first rak'ah, whereas the rear row faced the enemy. And when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the rear row close to him had finished the prostration, the rear row went down and prostrated themselves; then the Messenger of Allah pronounced the salutation and we also pronounced the salutation. (Jabir said we hadith) as your guards behave with their chiefs.  

شَهِدْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلاَةَ الْخَوْفِ فَصَفَّنَا صَفَّيْنِ صَفٌّ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالْعَدُوُّ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَكَبَّرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَكَبَّرْنَا جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ رَكَعَ وَرَكَعْنَا جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ وَرَفَعْنَا جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ انْحَدَرَ بِالسُّجُودِ وَالصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ وَقَامَ الصَّفُّ الْمُؤَخَّرُ فِي نَحْرِ الْعَدُوِّ فَلَمَّا قَضَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ السُّجُودَ وَقَامَ الصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ انْحَدَرَ الصَّفُّ الْمُؤَخَّرُ بِالسُّجُودِ وَقَامُوا ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ الصَّفُّ الْمُؤَخَّرُ وَتَأَخَّرَ الصَّفُّ الْمُقَدَّمُ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَرَكَعْنَا جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ وَرَفَعْنَا جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ انْحَدَرَ بِالسُّجُودِ وَالصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ الَّذِي كَانَ مُؤَخَّرًا فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الأُولَى وَقَامَ الصَّفُّ الْمُؤَخَّرُ فِي نُحُورِ الْعَدُوِّ فَلَمَّا قَضَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ السُّجُودَ وَالصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ انْحَدَرَ الصَّفُّ الْمُؤَخَّرُ بِالسُّجُودِ فَسَجَدُوا ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَسَلَّمْنَا جَمِيعًا قَالَ جَابِرٌ كَمَا يَصْنَعُ حَرَسُكُمْ هَؤُلاَءِ بِأُمَرَائِهِمْ  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , prayed the Dhuhr prayer with a garment on us. And on the polytheists was Khalid bin Al-Walid. The polytheists said, 'If their delusion had affected us, it would have come upon them now. Now they pray; prayer is dearer to them than their children and themselves.' Then Gabriel, ﷺ , came down with the verses that include the prayer of fear. 'So he lined up his companions behind him, two rows, and he said the takbeer, and we all said the takbeer, and he performed the rukoo' and we all performed the rukoo', and he performed the sujood and the row behind him also performed the sujood. When he stood up, the row behind him was delayed, so they stood in the place of the delayed row, and the delayed row moved forward, stood in their place, performed the rukoo' and we all performed the rukoo', raised up and we all raised up, and the row behind him performed the sujood."  

«صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الظُّهْرِ بِعُسْفَانَ» وَعَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ فَقَالَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ قَدْ كَانُوا عَلَى حَالٍ لَوْ أَصَبْنَا غِرَّتَهُمْ فَقَالُوا يَأْتِي عَلَيْهِمُ الْآنَ صَلَاةٌ هِيَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ أَوْلَادِهِمْ وَأَنْفُسِهِمْ فَنَزَلَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ بِالْآيَاتِ الَّتِي فِيهَا صَلَاةُ الْخَوْفِ «فَصَفَّ أَصْحَابَهُ خَلْفَهُ صَفَّيْنِ فَكَبَّرَ وَكَبَّرْنَا جَمِيعًا وَرَكَعَ وَرَكَعْنَا جَمِيعًا وَسَجَدَ وَسَجَدَ الصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ فَلَمَّا قَامَ تَأَخَّرَ الصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ فَقَامُوا مَقَامَ الصَّفِّ الْمُؤَخَّرِ وَتَقَدَّمَ الصَّفُّ الْمُؤَخَّرُ فَقَامَ مَقَامَهُمْ فَرَكَعَ وَرَكَعْنَا جَمِيعًا وَرَفَعَ وَرَفَعْنَا جَمِيعًا وَسَجَدَ الصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ فَلَمَّا جَلَسَ سَجَدَ الصَّفُّ الْمُؤَخَّرُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah commanded the prayer of fear, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood and we stood behind him in two rows. He said the takbir and bowed, and we all bowed in both rows. Then he raised his head and then prostrated, and the row behind him prostrated, while the others remained standing guarding their brothers. When he finished his prostration and stood up, the rear row prostrated, so they made two prostrations. Then they stood up and the front row, which was behind him, moved forward and bowed, and we all bowed. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the row behind him prostrated, while the others remained standing guarding their brothers. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat down, the rear row prostrated, and they prostrated. Then the Prophet ﷺ gave the salutation, and this is how it was.  

أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِصَلَاةِ الْخَوْفِ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقُمْنَا خَلْفَهُ صَفَّينِ فَكَبَّرَ وَرَكَعَ وَرَكَعْنَا جَمِيعًا الصَّفَّانِ كِلَاهُمَا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ ثُمَّ خَرَّ سَاجِدًا وَسَجَدَ الصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ وَثَبَتَ الْآخَرُونَ قِيَامًا يَحْرُسُونَ إِخْوَانَهُمْ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ سُجُودِهِ وَقَامَ خَرَّ الصَّفُّ الْمُؤَخَّرُ سُجُودًا فَسَجَدُوا سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَامُوا فَتَأَخَّرَ الصَّفُّ الْمُقَدَّمُ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ وَتَقَدَّمَ الصَّفُّ الْمُؤَخَّرُ فَرَكَعَ وَرَكَعُوا جَمِيعًا وَسَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَالصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ وَثَبَتَ الْآخَرُونَ قِيَامًا يَحْرُسُونَ إِخْوَانَهُمْ فَلَمَّا قَعَدَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَرَّ الصَّفُّ الْمُؤَخَّرُ سُجُودًا فَسَجَدُوا ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] "He prayed with the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , the prayer of fear and mentioned that the enemy was between him and the qibla. So he raised his voice with takbeer and we all raised our voices with takbeer, and he performed a rak'ah and we all performed a rak'ah. When he raised his head from the bowing position, he prostrated and the row behind him prostrated with him. Then the back row stood up in the rear of the enemy. When they stood up, the back row moved forward with prostration, and the front row moved back. He performed a second rak'ah and we all performed a second rak'ah. Then he prostrated, and the row behind him prostrated with him. The back row stood up in the rear of the enemy. When the row behind him prostrated, he sat down and the back row moved forward with prostration. Then he ended the prayer and we all ended the prayer. Jabir said: Just as your guards do so with their leaders."  

أَنَّهُ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ وَذَكَرَ أَنَّ الْعَدُوَّ كَانَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَكَبَّرَ وَكَبَّرْنَا وَرَكَعَ وَرَكَعْنَا جَمِيعًا فَلَمَّا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ سَجَدَ وَسَجَدَ مَعَهُ الصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ وَقَامَ الصَّفُّ الْمُؤَخَّرُ فِي نُحُورِ الْعَدُوِّ فَلَمَّا قَامَ وَقَامَ الصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ انْحَدَرَ الصَّفُّ الْمُؤَخَّرُ بِالسُّجُودِ ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ الصَّفُّ الْمُؤَخَّرُ وَتَأَخَّرَ الصَّفُّ الْمُقَدَّمُ فَرَكَعَ وَرَكَعْنَا جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَلَمَّا رَفَعَ سَجَدَ وَسَجَدَ مَعَهُ الصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ وَقَامَ الصَّفُّ الْمُؤَخَّرُ فِي نُحُورِ الْعَدُوِّ فَلَمَّا سَجَدَ الصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ وَجَلَسَ انْحَدَرَ الصَّفُّ الْمُؤَخَّرُ بِالسُّجُودِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ وَسَلَّمْنَا جَمِيعًا قَالَ جَابِرٌ كَمَا يَفْعَلُ حَرَسُكُمْ هَذَا بِأُمَرَائِهِمْ
