[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ, similar to the statement of Mujahid, when they are mixed, it is only the Takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar) and signaling with the head. And the Prophet ﷺ added that if they increase in number, they should perform the prayer on their mounts or standing on their feet, meaning the prayer of fear.

Abu Dawud said “I heard Muhammad bin Isa narrating this tradition who said Mu’tamar narrated it to us. And he (Mu’tamar) said “ I heard Al Hakam bin Aban narrating this tradition. He did not mention the name of Ibn ‘Abbas. Abu Dawud said “Al Hussain bin Huraith wrote to me saying “Al Fadl bin Musa narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas to the same effect from the Prophet ﷺ. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2225)

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ

[Machine] He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called me and said, "It has reached me that Ibn Nubayh Al-Hudhali is gathering people to attack me while he is near a palm tree or an anthill. Go to him and kill him." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, describe him to me so that I may recognize him." He said, "The sign between you and him is that when you see him, you will find goosebumps on your skin." So, I left, putting on my sword, until I reached him while he was visiting a house in a village. It was the time for Asr prayer, and when I saw him, I found exactly what the Messenger of Allah described regarding the goosebumps. I approached him, fearing that engaging in an argument with him would distract me from praying, so I prayed while walking towards him, nodding with my head. When I reached him, he asked, "Who is the man?" I said, "A man from the Arabs who heard about you and your gathering for this man, so he came for that." He said, "Indeed, we were expecting that." Then I walked with him for a while, until I was able to carry the sword on him, and I killed him. Then I left, leaving his belongings scattered on him. When I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he asked, "Was the face successful?" I said, "Indeed, I have killed him, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "You spoke the truth." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and entered his house, and he gave me a staff saying, "Hold onto this, O Abdullah bin Unays." So, I went out with it among the people, and they said, "Why do you carry this staff, O Abdullah bin Unays?" I said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave it to me and ordered me to hold onto it." They said, "Shouldn't you go back to him and ask him about it?" I said, "So, I returned to him and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, why did you give me this staff?'" He said, "It is a sign between you and me on the Day of Resurrection, and there will be very few people who will be given such a sign on that day." Then Abdullah bin Unays affixed the staff to his sword, and he kept it with him until he died. When he passed away, he was buried with it in his shroud. And that is the end.
