ahmad:15710Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar > Shuʿbah > Yaḥyá b. Saʿīd And ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. al-Qāsim b. Muḥammad b. Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq > al-Qāsim > Ṣāliḥ b. Khawwāt

[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).  

أحمد:١٥٧١٠حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ خَوَّاتٍ

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

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.
