[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, performed the prayer of fear with a group of his companions. He arranged them in rows and prayed alongside them, matching the movements of the enemy. Then they went towards the enemy, and the enemy came towards them, and they all prayed with the Prophet, peace be upon him, a unit of prayer. Then he greeted them."

ahmad:3364ʿAbd al-Raḥman > Sufyān > Abū Bakr / Ibn Abū al-Jahm > ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿAbdullāh > Ibn ʿAbbās

[Machine] The Messenger of Allahﷺ performed the prayer of fear, with those behind him forming a row, and another row equivalent to the enemy. He prayed with them one unit of prayer, then these (those who were behind him) went to the position of these (those equivalent to the enemy), and these (those equivalent to the enemy) came (forward), and he prayed with them one unit of prayer, then he said the tasleem. So it was two units for the Prophetﷺ and one unit for each group.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the prayer of fear in a land of the Banu Sulaym tribe. The people lined up behind him, forming two rows: one row facing the enemy, and another row behind him. He prayed with the row that followed him a unit of prayer, then the same group turned around to face the other group, while the second group turned around to face the first group. He then prayed another unit of prayer with them.

[Machine] Who among you memorizes the prayer of fear with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? Huzaifah said, "I am." So, we stood in a row behind him and in a row that faced the enemy. He prayed with those who were close to him one Rak'ah, then they went to the back lines and he prayed one Rak'ah with them and then gave them the Salam.
