On the authority of a person who offered the prayer in time of danger along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at the battle of Dhat al-Riqa. One section of people stood in the row of prayer along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the other section remained standing in front of the enemy. He led those who were with him in one rak'ah and remained standing (in his place) and they completed (the second rak'ah) by themselves. Then they turned away and arrayed before the enemy. Thereafter the other section came and he led them in the rak'ah which remained from his prayer. He then remained sitting (in his place) and they completed their one rak'ah by themselves. He then uttered the salutation along with them. Malik said: I like the tradition reported by Yazid b. Ruman (i.e. the present tradition) more than (other versions) I heard. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1238)   

عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ خَوَّاتٍ عَمَّنْ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ أَنَّ طَائِفَةً صَفَّتْ مَعَهُ وَطَائِفَةً وِجَاهَ الْعَدُوِّ فَصَلَّى بِالَّتِي مَعَهُ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ ثَبَتَ قَائِمًا وَأَتَمُّوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا فَصَفُّوا وِجَاهَ الْعَدُوِّ وَجَاءَتِ الطَّائِفَةُ الْأُخْرَى فَصَلَّى بِهِمُ الرَّكْعَةَ الَّتِي بَقِيَتْ ثُمَّ ثَبَتَ جَالِسًا وَأَتَمُّوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ بِهِمْ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ performed the prayer of fear, so he lined up a group with him and another group facing the enemy. The Prophet ﷺ prayed a Rak'ah with those who were with him, then he stood and they stood and they completed it for themselves. Then they went to where their companions were, and the others came, so the Prophet ﷺ prayed a Rak'ah with them that remained, then they completed it for themselves. Ubaidullah said: Qasim, I haven't heard anything about the prayer of fear that I love more than this.  

صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ صَلَاةُ الْخَوْفِ فَصَفَّ طَائِفَةً مَعَهُ وَطَائِفَةٌ تِلْقَاءَ الْعَدُوِّ فَصَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ قَامَ وَقَامُوا فَأَتَمُّوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ ثُمَّ ذَهَبُوا مَكَانَ أَصْحَابِهِمْ وَجَاءَ الْآخَرُونَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الرَّكْعَةَ الَّتِي بَقِيَتْ ثُمَّ أَتَمُّوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللهِ قَالَ الْقَاسِمُ مَا سَمِعْتُ شَيْئًا فِي صَلَاةِ الْخَوْفِ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ هَذَا  

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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1237)   

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

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ about a narration of Yahya ibn Sa'id al-Ansari, and Yahya said, "I write it beside him, and I do not memorize the narration, but it is like the narration of Yahya 6014." Abu Abdullah al-Hafith informed us, and Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Ya'qub narrated to us, and Yahya ibn Muhammad ibn Yahya narrated to us, and Musaddad narrated to us, and Yahya narrated to us, from Shu'bah, from Abdul Rahman ibn Al-Qasim, from his father, from Salih bin Khawwat, from the Prophet ﷺ about the prayer of fear.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ وَقَالَ يَحْيَى أَكْتُبُهُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ وَلَسْتُ أَحْفَظُ الْحَدِيثَ وَلَكِنَّهُ مِثْلُ حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى 6014 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ ثنا يَحْيَى عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ خَوَّاتٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي صَلَاةِ الْخَوْفِ
