[Machine] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ stood up, and the people stood up with him. He said the takbir (saying "Allahu Akbar") and they also said takbir. Then he went into the ruku' (bowing position) and they went into ruku' with him, some of them. Then he went into sujud (prostration) and they went into sujud. Then he stood up for the second raka'ah (unit of prayer) and those who had prostrated with him stayed back and guarded their brothers. Then another group came and they went into ruku' and sujud with the Prophet ﷺ , and all the people were in prayer, saying takbir, but some of them were guarding each other. Abu Bakr ibn al-Harith al-Faqih informed us, Ali ibn 'Umar al-Hafiz narrated to us, Ibn Sa'id narrated to us, Muhammad ibn 'Awf narrated to us, Haywah ibn Shuraih narrated to us, and Muhammad ibn Harb mentioned it with its chain of narration in a similar manner.

قَامَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَامَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ فَكَبَّرَ وَكَبَّرُوا ثُمَّ رَكَعَ وَرَكَعَ مَعَهُ نَاسٌ مِنْهُمْ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ وَسَجَدُوا ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ فَتَأَخَّرَ الَّذِينَ سَجَدُوا مَعَهُ وَحَرَسُوا إِخْوَانَهُمْ فَأَتَتِ الطَّائِفَةُ الْأُخْرَى فَرَكَعُوا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَسَجَدُوا وَالنَّاسُ كُلُّهُمْ فِي صَلَاةٍ يُكَبِّرُونَ وَلَكِنْ يَحْرُسُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا 6030 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْفَقِيهُ أنبأ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَافِظُ ثنا ابْنُ صَاعِدٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ ثنا حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ فَذَكَرَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ نَحْوَهُ  

رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ حَيْوَةَ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ وَيُحْتَمَلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ الْمُرَادُ بِهَذَا مَا رُوِّينَا عَنْ غَيْرِهِ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ وَيُحْتَمَلُ غَيْرُهُ وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ مُبَيَّنًا
