[Machine] We were with Sa'id ibn al-'As in Tabaristan and with him were some companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He asked, "Which of you prayed the prayer of fear with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" Hudhaifa said, "I did. I would order your companions to stand in two groups, one behind you and one towards the enemy. You would all then say the takbeer and they would say the takbeer along with you. You would then perform the ruku' and they would perform the ruku' with you. You would then raise your head and they would raise their heads with you. Then you would make the sajdah and they would make the sajdah with you. The group that is behind you and the group that is towards the enemy would perform the standing position towards the enemy. When you raise your head from the sajdah, they would perform the sajdah and then the others would move forward and perform ruku', following your movements. Then they would raise their heads and perform the ruku' along with you. Then they would make the sajdah and the group that is behind you and the other group would perform the standing position towards the enemy. When you raise your head from the sajdah, they would perform the sajdah and then you would say the salaam and some of them would give salaam to others. You would then order your companions that if the enemy attacks them with a sudden attack, they should start fighting them and should not speak."

[Machine] I was with Sa'id ibn al-'As in Tabaristan, and he had some companions of the Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ with him. Sa'id asked them, "Which one of you witnessed the Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ leading the prayer of fear?" Huzaifa replied, "I know about your companions. Have half of them stand to face the enemy, while the other half stands behind you. You will then say the takbeer and they will say the takbeer with you. You will bow and they will bow with you. You will raise your head and they will raise their heads with you. Then you will prostrate and the group behind you will prostrate. When you raise your head from prostration, the group following you will stand up and the others will prostrate. Then you will bow and they will bow with you. You will raise your head and they will raise their heads with you. You will prostrate and the group following you will prostrate. The other group will stand to face the enemy. When you raise your head from prostration, those who are facing the enemy will prostrate. Then you will give them the salutation and command your companions that if they are attacked, then they are allowed to fight and speak."
