This tradition has been transmitted by 'Aishah through a different chain of narrators. She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ uttered the takbir and the section that was in the same row with him also uttered the takbir. He then bowed and they also bowed, and he prostrated and they also prostrated. Then he raised his head and they also raised (their heads). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then remained seated. They prostrated alone and stood up and retraced their footsteps and stood behind them. Then the other section came; they stood up and uttered the takbir and bowed by themselves. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prostrated himself and they also prostrated with him. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and they performed the second prostration by themselves. Then both the sections stood up and prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He bowed and they also bowed, and then he prostrated himself and they also prostrated themselves. Then he returned and performed the second prostration and they also prostrated with him as quickly as possible, showing no slackness in quick prostration. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then uttered the salutation. After that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up. Thus everyone participated in the entire prayer.  

كَبَّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَبَّرَتِ الطَّائِفَةُ الَّذِينَ صُفُّوا مَعَهُ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَرَكَعُوا ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَسَجَدُوا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَرَفَعُوا ثُمَّ مَكَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَالِسًا ثُمَّ سَجَدُوا هُمْ لأَنْفُسِهِمُ الثَّانِيَةَ ثُمَّ قَامُوا فَنَكَصُوا عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ يَمْشُونَ الْقَهْقَرَى حَتَّى قَامُوا مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ وَجَاءَتِ الطَّائِفَةُ الأُخْرَى فَقَامُوا فَكَبَّرُوا ثُمَّ رَكَعُوا لأَنْفُسِهِمْ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَسَجَدُوا مَعَهُ ثُمَّ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَسَجَدُوا لأَنْفُسِهِمُ الثَّانِيَةَ ثُمَّ قَامَتِ الطَّائِفَتَانِ جَمِيعًا فَصَلُّوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَرَكَعَ فَرَكَعُوا ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَسَجَدُوا جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ عَادَ فَسَجَدَ الثَّانِيَةَ وَسَجَدُوا مَعَهُ سَرِيعًا كَأَسْرَعِ الإِسْرَاعِ جَاهِدًا لاَ يَأْلُونَ سِرَاعًا ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَسَلَّمُوا فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ شَارَكَهُ النَّاسُ فِي الصَّلاَةِ كُلِّهَا  

[Machine] Al-Zubair reported from Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , that she said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led the people in the prayer of fear during the Battle of al-Riqaa' from the palm grove. She said, "Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ split the people into two groups. One group stood behind him, while the other group stood to face the enemy." She said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made the takbeer and the group behind him also made the takbeer. Then he bowed and the group behind him also bowed. Then he prostrated and the group behind him also prostrated. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his head and those behind him also raised their heads. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat while they performed the second prostration for themselves. Then they got up and prostrated on their feet, walking towards al-Qa'qara until they were away from their previous position. She said, "Then the other group came forward and they stood behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . They made the takbeer and then they bowed for themselves and then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ made the second prostration and they also prostrated with him. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up for his second rakah and they also prostrated for themselves in their second prostration. Then both groups stood and they all performed the bowing with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . They all prostrated and then they all raised their heads together. All of this happened very quickly with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ not delaying or reducing anything that he was able to do. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ made the salam and they also made the salam. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and the people joined him in the rest of their prayer."

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the prayer of fear. He divided the people into two groups: one group stood behind him, and another group stood in front of him. When the enemy approached, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his voice in takbir (saying Allahu Akbar), and the group that stood behind him also raised their voices in takbir. Then he bowed and they all bowed, prostrated and they all prostrated. Then he raised his head and they all raised their heads, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat down while the others prostrated for themselves a second prostration. Then they stood up and proceeded towards the back until they were no longer behind him, and another group emerged and stood behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . They raised their voices in takbir, then bowed and prostrated for themselves. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed his second prostration, and they prostrated with him. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up in his prayer and they prostrated for themselves a second prostration. Finally, both groups stood together behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he performed a rak'ah (unit of prayer) with them, and they all bowed and prostrated. All of these actions were performed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ very swiftly, without any delay, to the best of his ability. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave the salam (Islamic greeting) and they also gave the salam. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up again, and the people followed him in all his prayers."  

«صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ» قَالَتْ فَصَدَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ النَّاسَ صَدْعَتَيْنِ فَصُفَّتْ طَائِفَةٌ وَرَاءَهُ وَقَامَتْ طَائِفَةٌ وِجَاءَ الْعَدُوُّ قَالَتْ فَكَبَّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَبَّرَتِ الطَّائِفَةُ الَّذِينَ صَفُّوا خَلْفَهُ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ وَرَكَعُوا ثُمَّ سَجَدَ وَسَجَدُوا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَرَفَعُوا ثُمَّ مَكَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَالِسًا وَسَجَدُوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمِ السَّجْدَةَ الثَّانِيَةَ ثُمَّ قَامُوا ثُمَّ نَكَصُوا عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ يَمْشُونَ الْقَهْقَرَى حَتَّى قَامُوا مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ وَأَقْبَلَتِ الطَّائِفَةُ الْأُخْرَى فَصَفُّوا خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَكَبَّرُوا ثُمَّ رَكَعُوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَجْدَتَهُ الثَّانِيَةَ فَسَجَدُوا مَعَهُ ثُمَّ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي رَكْعَتِهِ وَسَجَدُوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمِ السَّجْدَةَ الثَّانِيَةَ ثُمَّ قَامَتِ الطَّائِفَتَانِ جَمِيعًا فَصَفُّوا خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَرَكَعَ بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً فَرَكَعُوا جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَسَجَدُوا جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَرَفَعُوا مَعَهُ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَرِيعًا جِدًّا لَا يَأْلُو أَنْ يُخَفِّفَ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَسَلَّمُوا ثُمَّ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ شَرَكَهُ النَّاسُ فِي صَلَاتِهِ كُلِّهَا  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the prayer of fear with the same sections. A group of people stood behind him and another group stood in the face of the enemy. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest) and the group behind him also said Allahu Akbar. They then performed the ruku (bowing) and sujud (prostration) and raised their heads along with him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained seated and the group behind him prostrated for themselves for the second time. Then they stood up and walked backward until they were behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Another group then stood behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and they said Allahu Akbar. They performed ruku and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the second sujud and they also prostrated with him. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up from his rakah (unit of prayer) and they also prostrated for themselves for the second time. Then both groups stood together behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he performed a rakah with them, and they all performed ruku and sujud together. They raised their heads along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as he did everything very quickly. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said the salaam (salutation) and they also saluted. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up, with people joining him in all of his prayers."
