[Machine] Said bin Al-Aas said, "Who among you witnessed the prayer of fear with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" Huzaifa said, "I did." So, a row stood behind him, parallel to the enemy, and he prayed one rak'ah with them. Then, they went to their positions and those people came forward, so he prayed one rak'ah with them. Then, he gave the salutations to both groups. Yahya bin Said Al-Qattan narrated it from Sufyan, except that he said, "Huzaifa stood up and arranged the people behind him in two rows, one behind him and one parallel to the enemy. He prayed one rak'ah with those behind him, then he turned to those people and they prayed one rak'ah with him, but they did not complete 6047." Abu Al-Hasan Ali bin Muhammad Al-Muqri informed us, Al-Hasan bin Muhammad bin Ishaq narrated to us, Yusuf bin Ya'qub narrated to us, Muhammad bin Abi Bakr narrated to us, and Yahya bin Said informed me, Sufyan mentioned it like this.  

سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْعَاصِ أَيُّكُمْ شَهِدَ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ أَنَا فَقَامَ صَفٌّ خَلْفَهُ وَصَفٌّ مُوَازِي الْعَدُوِّ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَى مَصَافِّهِمْ وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكِ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَرَوَاهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ فَقَامَ حُذَيْفَةُ وَصَفَّ النَّاسَ خَلْفَهُ صَفَّينِ صَفًّا خَلْفَهُ وَصَفًّا مُوَازِي الْعَدُوِّ وَصَلَّى بِالَّذِينَ خَلْفَهُ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَى مَكَانِ هَؤُلَاءِ وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً وَلَمْ يَقْضُوا 6047 أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُقْرِئُ أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنِي سُفْيَانُ فَذَكَرَهُ كَذَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the prayer of fear with a group carrying monkeys. He lined them up in rows, with a row parallel to the enemy. He prayed a Rak'ah with them, then these people went to the forefront, and those people came and prayed a Rak'ah with the Prophet ﷺ , then they greeted him. Sufyan said: The Prophet ﷺ prayed two Rak'ahs and each group prayed one Rak'ah.  

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةُ الْخَوْفِ بِذِي قَرَدٍ فَصَفَّ خَلْفَهُ صَفٌّ وَصَفٌّ مُوَازِي الْعَدُوِّ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَى مَصَافِّ أُولَئِكَ وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ فَصَلُّوا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ فَكَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَلِكُلِّ طَائِفَةٍ رَكْعَةٌ  

[Machine] Al-Shafi'i said, and a hadith has been narrated that scholars do not rely on any other hadith like it, that the Prophet ﷺ prayed with a group, he performed one unit of prayer and then said salaam, and then he performed another unit of prayer and then said salaam. So the imam had two units of prayer, and each group had one unit of prayer. Al-Shafi'i said, "We leave this practice because all the hadiths regarding the prayer of fear agree that the followers should perform the same number of prayer units as the imam. And this is also the basis of the obligatory prayer, that the number of units is the same for everyone. We do not have any evidence similar to this for any other matter in its chain of narrators." The scholar said, "This is a hadith that neither Bukhari nor Muslim have included in their books, and it is only Abu Bakr ibn Abi al-Jahm who claims it. Ibn Abi Abdullah reported it in this manner, and it is possible that his prayer was like that when he was in Usfan, because his statement 'then they went to the front rows, and those came to the back rows' refers to the arrangement of the rows, and the time of guarding one of the two rows. Al-Zuhri narrated it from Ibn Abbas, which indicates that there are differences in his narration from al-Zuhri's, concerning the timing of guarding one of the two rows. And it was also narrated by Ikrimah from Ibn Abbas. The mention of these narrations is evidence of the authenticity of this interpretation, and the same can also be inferred from them."  

قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ حَدِيثٌ لَا يُثْبِتُ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ بِالْحَدِيثِ مِثْلَهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى بِذِي قَرَدٍ بِطَائِفَةٍ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ سَلَّمُوا وَبِطَائِفَةٍ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ سَلَّمُوا فَكَانَتْ لِلْإِمَامِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَلِكُلِّ طَائِفَةٍ رَكْعَةٌ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ وَإِنَّمَا تَرَكْنَاهُ لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ الْأَحَادِيثِ فِي صَلَاةِ الْخَوْفِ مُجْتَمِعَةٌ عَلَى أَنَّ عَلَى الْمَأْمُومِينَ مِنْ عَدَدِ الصَّلَاةِ مَا عَلَى الْإِمَامِ وَكَذَلِكَ أَصْلُ الْفَرْضِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَاحِدٌ فِي الْعَدَدِ وَلَأَنَّهُ لَا يَثْبُتَ عِنْدَنَا مِثْلُهُ لِشَيْءٍ فِي بَعْضِ إِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ لَمْ يُخْرِجْهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ وَلَا مُسْلِمٌ فِي كِتَابَيْهِمَا وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي الْجَهْمِ يَتَفَرَّدُ بِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَقَدْ يَحْتَمِلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ مِثْلَ صَلَاتِهِ بِعُسْفَانَ فَإِنَّ قَوْلَهُ ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَى مَصَافِّ أُولَئِكَ وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ أَرَادَ بِهِ فِي تَقَدُّمِ الصَّفِّ الْمُؤَخَّرِ وَتَأَخُّرِ الصَّفِّ الْمُقَدَّمِ وَقَدْ رَوَى الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مَا دَلَّ عَلَى ذَلِكَ مَعَ اخْتِلَافٍ فِيهِ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَقْتَ حِرَاسَةِ أَحَدِ الصَّفَّيْنِ وَرَوَاهُ عِكْرِمَةُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَقَدْ مَضَى ذِكْرُ هَذِهِ الرِّوَايَاتِ وَفِي ذَلِكَ دَلِيلٌ عَلَى صِحَّةِ هَذَا التَّأْوِيلِ وَعَلَى مِثْلِ ذَلِكَ يُحْمَلُ أَيْضًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the prayer of fear, so he arranged the rows behind him and the rows parallel to the enemy. He prayed with them one unit of prayer, then these people went to the place of those people, and those people came to the place of these people, so he prayed with them one unit of prayer, then he gave the salaam.  

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ فَصَفَّ صَفًّا خَلْفَهُ وَصَفًّا مُوَازِي الْعَدُوِّ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَى مَصَافِّ هَؤُلَاءِ وَجَاءَ هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَى مَصَافِّ هَؤُلَاءِ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ  

[Machine] I witnessed the fear with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so he ordered a group to stand facing the enemy, and he stood and performed a rak'ah (unit of prayer) with that group. When they prostrated, those who had prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood in their places, and those who had not yet prayed with him joined them and stood behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he performed a rak'ah with them. When they prostrated, he sat and greeted them. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed two rak'ahs, and those who were behind him performed one rak'ah. It is possible that this includes the narrations of Hudhayfah, Ibn Abbas, and Zaid in his statement. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed two rak'ahs, and those who were behind him performed one rak'ah. It is possible to assume that this is from the perspective of some of the narrators before Jabir, as we have narrated from Ata' and Abu Zubayr from Jabir, which indicates that. And some of them have mentioned in the hadith of Yazid al-Faqir that they prayed another rak'ah. This is what Abu Dawud al-Sijistani mentioned. The sheikh said: Al-Hakam ibn Utaybah narrated it from Yazid al-Faqir from Jabir, and he said, "So we lined up in two rows," and he mentioned it in a wording that could be interpreted as we mentioned, except that al-Mas'udi has mentioned it...  

شَهِدْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْخَوْفَ فَأَمَرَ بِطَائِفَةٍ تَقُومُ فِي وَجْهِ الْعَدُوِّ وَقَامَ فَصَلَّى بِطَائِفَةٍ رَكْعَةً فَلَمَّا سَجَدَ انْطَلَقَ الَّذِينَ صَلُّوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَامُوا مَقَامَ أُولَئِكَ وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ فَقَامُوا خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً فَلَمَّا سَجَدُوا جَلَسَ فَسَلَّمَ بِهِمْ فَكَانَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَلِلَّذِينَ خَلْفَهُ رَكْعَةً فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ بِالَّذِينَ خَلْفَهُ سَلَّمَ الْآخَرُونَ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَهَذَا يَحْتَمِلُ مَا احْتَمَلَ حَدِيثُ حُذَيْفَةَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَزَيْدٍ فِي قَوْلِهِ فَكَانَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَلِلَّذِينَ خَلْفَهُ رَكْعَةً يَحْتَمِلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ مِنْ جِهَةِ بَعْضِ الرُّوَاةِ قَبْلَ جَابِرٍ فَقَدْ رُوِّينَا عَنْ عَطَاءٍ وَأَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ مَا دَلَّ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَقَدْ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي حَدِيثِ يَزِيدَ الْفَقِيرِ أَنَّهُمْ قَضَوْا رَكْعَةً أُخْرَى هَكَذَا قَالَهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ السِّجِسْتَانِيُّ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَرَوَاهُ الْحَكَمُ بْنُ عُتَيْبَةَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ الْفَقِيرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ وَقَالَ فَصَفَفْنَا صَفَّينِ فَذَكَرَهُ بِلَفْظٍ مُحْتَمَلٍ لِلتَّأْوِيلِ الَّذِي ذَكَرْنَاهُ إِلَّا أَنَّ الْمَسْعُودِيَّ قَدْ  

[Machine] He was with the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , in battle and the prayer was called, so the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , stood up and formed a row of his followers behind him. Another group stood up, facing the enemy. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , prayed with them one Rak'ah and prostrated for them twice. Then those who prayed behind him left and occupied their positions, and another group came and prayed behind the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and he prayed one Rak'ah with them and prostrated for them twice. Then the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , sat down, greeted those behind him, and they returned the greeting. Thus the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , performed two Rak'ahs and the people performed one Rak'ah, and then he recited the verse "And when you are among them and lead them in prayer" [Quran 4:102]. The Sheikh said: This is what is reported from Jabir, and if it is not appropriate to interpret what we mentioned, it can be assumed that it is a report about his prayer in the morning that he and others described, and that they performed their remaining Rak'ahs. It is also possible that it is related to a certain matter that some narrators have confirmed over others, so the confirmed saying and the principle of the obligation of number should be taken until it is proven that a decrease is permissible based on something that does not tolerate interpretation. And Allah knows best.  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عِنْدَ الْقِتَالِ وَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَفَّ طَائِفَةٌ خَلْفَهُ وَقَامَتْ طَائِفَةٌ وُجُوهُهَا قِبَلَ وُجُوهِ الْعَدُوِّ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً وَسَجَدَ بِهِمْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ صَلُّوا خَلْفَهُ انْطَلَقُوا فَقَامُوا مَقَامَ أُولَئِكَ وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ فَصَلُّوا خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً وَسَجَدَ بِهِمْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ جَلَسَ فَسَلَّمَ وَسَلَّمَ الَّذِينَ خَلْفَهُ وَسَلَّمُوا أُولَئِكَ فَكَانَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَلِلْقَوْمِ رَكْعَةً رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ قَرَأَ يَزِيدُ {وَإِذَا كُنْتَ فِيهِمْ فَأَقَمْتَ لَهُمُ الصَّلَاةَ} [النساء 102] قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَهَذَا الَّذِي رُوِيَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ إِنْ كَانَ لَا يَحْتَمِلُ مَا ذَكَرْنَاهُ مِنَ التَّأْوِيلِ فَيُحْتَمَلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ خَبَرًا عَنْ صَلَاتِهِ فِي الْغَدَاةِ الَّتِي وَصَفَ هُوَ وَغَيْرُهُ صَلَاتَهُ فِيهَا وَأَنَّهُمْ قَضَوْا رَكْعَتَهُمُ الْبَاقِيَةَ وَيَكُونُ فِي حُكْمِ شَيْءٍ أَثْبَتَهُ بَعْضُ الرُّوَاةِ دُونَ بَعْضٍ فَيُؤْخَذُ بِقَوْلِ الْمُثْبِتِ وَالْأَصْلُ وَجُوبُ الْعَدَدِ حَتَّى يُثْبَتَ جَوَازُ النُّقْصَانِ عَنْهُ بِمَا لَا يَحْتَمِلُ التَّأْوِيلَ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ, he prayed two rak'ahs with these people and two rak'ahs with those people during the prayer of fear. This was mentioned in a condensed form by Simak, and it has also been narrated by Salim and Nafi' from Ibn Umar, that each group completed their prayer. The ruling is that it is established in cases like this, and with Allah is the success.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى بِهَؤُلَاءِ رَكْعَةً وَبِهَؤُلَاءِ رَكْعَةً فِي صَلَاةِ الْخَوْفِ كَذَا أَتَى بِهِ سِمَاكٌ مُخْتَصَرًا وَقَدْ رُوِّينَاهُ عَنْ سَالِمٍ وَنَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنَ الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ قَضَوْا رَكْعَتَهُمْ وَالْحُكْمُ لِلْإِثْبَاتِ فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ  

[Machine] Indeed, Allah has enjoined the prayer upon the tongue of your Prophet ﷺ four units in a state of residence and during travel two units, and in a state of fear one unit. And Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz narrated to us, Abu Bakr ibn Abdullah narrated to us, Hasan ibn Sufyan narrated to us, Uthman and Abu Bakr, the sons of Abu Shaybah, said, Al-Qasim ibn Malik al-Muzani narrated to us, Ayoub ibn A'idh al-Tayi mentioned him in a similar manner.  

إِنَّ اللهَ فَرَضَ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ أَرْبَعًا فِي الْحَضَرِ وَفِي السَّفَرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَفِي الْخَوْفِ رَكْعَةً 6055 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ثنا عُثْمَانُ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ ابْنَا أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَا ثنا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ الْمُزَنِيُّ ثنا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ عَائِذٍ الطَّائِيُّ فَذَكَرَهُ بِنَحْوِهِ
