[Machine] "We were with the Prophet ﷺ when the sun set, so he immediately rushed to the mosque, hastily removed his garment and performed two rak'ahs of prayer like your regular prayers. Then he turned to his companions and said, 'Indeed, the sun and the moon are two signs from the signs of Allah by which He instills fear in His servants. They do not eclipse due to the death of anyone among the people. Furthermore, my son has passed away. So, if you ever witness an eclipse, hasten to perform prayer until what you fear subsides.'"  

كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَامَ ﷺ عَجْلَانًا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَجَرَ إِزَارَهُ أَوْ ثَوْبَهُ وَثَّابَ إِلَيْهِ نَاسٌ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ نَحْوَ مَا تُصَلُّونَ ثُمَّ جُلِّيَ عَنْهَا فَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَثَّابَ إِلَيْهِ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ يُخَوِّفُ بِهِمَا عِبَادَهُ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَكَانَ ابْنُهُ تُوُفِّيَ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا فَصَلُّوا حَتَّى يَكْشِفَ مَا بِكُمْ»  

"There was an eclipse of the sun, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ got up in a rush, fearing that it might be the Hour. He went to the masjid, where he stood and prayed, standing, bowing and prostrating for the longest time that I ever saw him do in prayer. Then he said: 'These signs that Allah (SWT) sends do not occur for the death or birth of anyone, but Allah (SWT) sends them to strike fear into His slaves. If you see any of these things, then hasten to remember Him, call upon Him supplicate and ask for His forgiveness.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1503)   

كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ زَمَنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَامَ فَزِعًا خَشِينَا أَنْ تَكُونَ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى بِأَطْوَلِ قِيَامٍ وَرُكُوعٍ وَسُجُودٍ مَا رَأَيْتُهُ يَفْعَلُ فِي صَلَاةٍ قَطُّ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْآيَاتِ الَّتِي يُرْسِلُ اللَّهُ لَا تَكُونُ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ يُرْسِلُهَا يُخَوِّفُ بِهَا عِبَادَهُ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا فَافْزَعُوا إِلَى ذِكْرِهِ وَدُعَائِهِ وَاسْتِغْفَارِهِ»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ, it was narrated that he "performed two units (rak'atayn) of prayer during the solar and lunar eclipses, just like your prayers."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ «صَلَّى فِي كُسُوفِ الشَّمْسِ وَالْقَمَرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ مِثْلَ صَلَاتِكُمْ»  

[Machine] The sun was eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up to pray. He continued to pray until he almost couldn't perform the rukoo' (bowing position), then he performed rukoo' until he almost couldn't raise his head, and then he raised his head. He began to supplicate, cry, and say, "O Lord, did You not promise me not to punish them while I am among them? Did You not promise me not to punish them while we seek Your forgiveness?" After the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished praying, the sun became visible again. He stood up, praised and glorified Allah, and said, "Verily, the sun and the moon are two signs from the signs of Allah. So, when they are eclipsed, rush to the remembrance of Allah." Then he said, "Paradise was shown to me, and if I wished, I could have plucked a cluster from it. Hellfire was shown to me, and I became so cautious of it that I feared it would envelop you. So, I would say, 'Didn't You promise me not to punish them while I am among them? O Lord, didn't You promise me not to punish them while they seek Your forgiveness?'" He said, "Then I saw a pitch-black female camel tied. She was neither fed nor watered, and she was not allowed to eat from the vegetation on the ground. So, every time she turned towards it, she was burned by fire. I also saw a man being pushed in the Fire with two staffs having hooks at the tips. I also saw a man reclining on his elbow in the Fire."  

انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي حَتَّى لَمْ يَكَدْ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ حَتَّى لَمْ يَكَدْ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ رَأْسَهُ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَجَعَلَ يَتَضَرَّعُ وَيَبْكِي وَيَقُولُ «رَبِّ أَلَمْ تَعِدْنِي أَنْ لَا تُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ أَلَمْ تَعِدْنِي أَنْ لَا تُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَنَحْنُ نَسْتَغْفِرُكَ» فَلَمَّا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ انْجَلَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَامَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ «إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ فَإِذَا انْكَسَفَا فَافْزَعُوا إِلَى ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «لَقَدْ عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ الْجَنَّةُ حَتَّى لَوْ شِئْتُ لَتَعَاطَيْتُ قِطْفًا مِنْ قُطُوفِهَا وَعُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ النَّارُ حَتَّى جَعَلْتُ أَتَّقِيهَا حَتَّى خَشِيتُ أَنْ تَغْشَاكُمْ فَجَعَلْتُ أَقُولُ أَلَمْ تَعِدْنِي أَنْ لَا تُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ رَبِّ أَلَمْ تَعِدْنِي أَنْ لَا تُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرِونَكَ» قَالَ «فَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا الْحَمَيرِيَةَ السَّوْدَاءَ صَاحِبَةَ الْهِرَّةِ كَانَتْ حَبَسَتْهَا فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْهَا وَلَمْ تَسْقِهَا وَلَمْ تَتْرُكْهَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْ خَشَاشِ الْأَرْضِ فَرَأَيْتُهَا كُلَّمَا أَدْبَرَتْ نُهِشَتْ فِي النَّارِ وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا صَاحِبَ بَدَنَتَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَخَا دَعْدَعٍ يُدْفَعُ فِي النَّارِ بِقَضِيبَيْنِ ذِي شُعْبَتَيْنِ وَرَأَيْتُ صَاحِبَ الْمِحْجَنِ فَرَأَيْتُهُ فِي النَّارِ عَلَى مِحْجَنِهِ مُتَوَكِّئًا»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed on the day the sun was eclipsed, bowing four times in two rak'ahs and prostrating four times. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1469)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَوْمَ كَسَفَتَ الشَّمْسُ صَلَّى أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعَ سَجَدَاتٍ»  

'Amrah told him that Aishah told her that a Jewish woman came to her and said: "May Allah protect you from the torment of the grave." Aishah said: "O Messenger of Allah, will people be tormented in the graves?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sought refuge with Allah. 'Aishah said: "The Prophet ﷺ went out, and the sun became eclipsed. We went out to another room and the women gathered with us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us and that was at the time of forenoon. He stood for a long time, then he bowed for a long time, then he raises his head and stood for a shorter time than the first one; then he bowed for a shorter time than the first one. Then he prostrated, then he stood up for the second (rak'ah) and did the same again, except that his bowing an prostrating were shorter than in the first rak'ah. Then he prostrated, and the eclipse had ended. When he had finished, he sat on the minbar and one of the things he said was: 'The people will be tried in their graves like the trial of the Dajjal.' Aishah siad: 'After that, we used to hear him seeking refuge with Allah (SWT) from the torment of the grave." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1475)  

عَائِشَةُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ النَّاسَ لَيُفْتَنُونَ فِي الْقَبْرِ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «عَائِذٌ بِاللَّهِ» قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَرَجَ مَخْرَجًا فَخَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَخَرَجْنَا إِلَى الْحُجْرَةِ وَاجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْنَا النِّسَاءُ وَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَذَلِكَ ضَحْوَةً فَقَامَ يُصَلِّي فَقَامَ قِيَامًا طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رُكُوعًا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَامَ دُونَ الْقِيَامِ الْأَوْلِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ دُونَ رُكُوعِهِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ ثُمَّ قَامَ الثَّانِيَةَ وَصَنَعَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا أَنَّ رُكُوعَهُ دُونَ الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى ثُمَّ سَجَدَ وَتَجَلَّتِ الشَّمْسُ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَعَدَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَالَ فِيمَا يَقُولُ «إِنَّ النَّاسَ يُفْتَنُونَ فِي قُبُورِهِمْ كَفِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ» قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَكُنَّا نَسْمَعُهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِتَعَوُّذٍ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْقَبْرِ  

[Machine] The sun set during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up for prayer. He recited a long Surah, then bowed down for a moment, then raised his head and recited another Surah. When he finished reciting the second Surah, he bowed down again, then prostrated. He then stood up for the second unit of prayer, recited another Surah, and stood for a shorter time than the first unit. Then he bowed down and his bowing was shorter than the first. He then prostrated. When he raised his head from prostration, he said, "There is nothing that you are promised but I have seen it in my place here. And I have seen myself taking a bunch of grapes from Paradise when you saw me moving forward. And I have seen Hellfire breaking apart when you saw me staying back. And I have seen 'Amr bin Luhy (an idolater in Makkah) the one who will be dragging his intestines."  

انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَقَرَأَ بِسُورَةِ طَوِيلَةٍ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ نَحْوًا مِنْ قِيَامِهِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَافْتَتَحَ بِسُورَةٍ أُخْرَى حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْهَا رَكَعَ ثَانِيَةً ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَسَجَدَ ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ فَقَرَأَ أَيْضًا بِسُورَةٍ وَقَامَ دُونَ الْقِرَاءَةِ الْأُولَى ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَكَانَ رُكُوعُهُ دُونَ الْأَوْلِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَلَمَّا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السُّجُودِ قَالَ «مَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ تُوعَدُونَهُ إِلَّا وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي أُرِيدُ أَنْ آخُذَ قِطْفًا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ حِينَ رَأَيْتُمُونِي أَتَقَدَّمُ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ جَهَنَّمَ يَحْطِمُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا حِينَ رَأَيْتُمُونِي تَأَخَّرْتُ وَرَأَيْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ لُحَيٍّ وَهُوَ الَّذِي سَيَّبَ السَّوَائِبَ»  

"There was an eclipse of the sun and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered a man to call out: As-salatu jami'ah (prayer is about to begin in congregation). The people gathered and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led them in prayer. He said the takbir, then he recited at length. Then he said the takbir and bowed for a long time, as long as he had recited or longer. Then he raised his head and said: Sami Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears those who praise Him) Then he recited at length, but it was shorter than the first time, then he said the takbir and bowed for a long time, but it was shorter than the first time. Then he raised his head and said: 'Sami Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears those who praise Him). Then he said the takbir and prostrated for a long time, as long as he had bowed or longer. Then he said the takbir and raised his head, then he said the takbir and prostrated. Then he said the takbir and stood up, and recited for a long time that was shorter than the first time. Then he said the takbir and bowed for a long time that was shorter than the first time. Then he raised his head and said: Sami' Allahu liman hamidah. (Allah hears those who praise Him). Then he recited for a long time that was shorter than the first recitation in the second standing. Then he said the takbir and bowed for a long time that was shorter than the first time. Then he raised his head and said: Sami Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears those who praise Him). Then he said the takbir and prostrated for a long time that was shorter than the first time. Then he recited the tashahhud, then he said the taslim. Then he stood before them and praised and glorified Allah, then he said: 'The sun and the moon do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone, but they are two of the signs of Allah (SWT). Whichever of them becomes eclipsed, turn to Allah (SWT), the Mighty and Sublime, and pray.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1497)  

انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَجُلًا فَنَادَى أَنَّ الصَّلَاةَ جَامِعَةٌ فَاجْتَمَعَ النَّاسَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَكَبَّرَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ قِرَاءَةً طَوِيلَةً ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَرَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلًا مِثْلَ قِيَامِهِ أَوْ أَطْوَلَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ» ثُمَّ قَرَأَ قِرَاءَةً طَوِيلَةً هِيَ أَدْنَى مِنَ الْقِيَامِ الْأَوْلِ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَرَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلًا وَهُوَ أَدْنَى مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ الْأَوْلِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ «سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ» ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَسَجَدَ سُجُودًا طَوِيلًا وَهُوَ أَدْنَى مِنْ رُكُوعِهِ أَوْ أَطْوَلُ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ وَسَجَدَ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَقَامَ فَقَرَأَ قِرَاءَةً طَوِيلَةً هِيَ أَدْنَى مِنَ الْقِرَاءَةِ الْأُولَى ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَرَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلًا هُوَ أَدْنَى مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ الْأَوْلِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ «سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ» ثُمَّ قَرَأَ قِرَاءَةً طَوِيلَةً هِيَ أَدْنَى مِنَ الْقِرَاءَةِ الْأُولَى فِي الْقِيَامِ الثَّانِي ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَرَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلًا دُونَ الرُّكُوعِ الْأَوْلِ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ «سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ» ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَسَجَدَ أَدْنَى مِنْ سُجُودِهِ الْأَوْلِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ ثُمَّ تَشَهَّدَ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ وَقَامَ فِيهِمْ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَا يَنْخَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ وَلَكِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ خُسِفَ بِهِمَا أَوْ بِأَحَدِهِمَا فَافْزَعُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَالصَّلَاةِ»  

[Machine] The sun was eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed. He prolonged the standing, then he performed a bow, then he raised his head and stood again shorter than the first. Then he performed a bow again and raised his head, standing shorter than the first. Then he performed three units of prayer, then he prostrated, then he raised his head and stood up, and he performed three units of prayer, in which his standing was shorter than the first. Then he prostrated and then he finished the prayer, and by that time the sun had reappeared. He said, "Indeed, the sun and the moon do not eclipse due to the death or birth of anyone. Rather, they are two signs from the signs of Allah. So when you see them eclipse, offer prayer until it becomes clear."  

انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَامَ دُونَ قِيَامِهِ الْأَوْلِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَامَ دُونَ قِيَامِهِ الْأَوْلِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ ثَلَاثَ رَكَعَاتٍ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَامَ فَرَكَعَ ثَلَاثَ رَكَعَاتٍ قَامَ فِيهِنَّ دُونَ قِيَامِهِ الْأَوْلِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ وَقَدْ تَجَلَّتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ وَهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ كُسُوفَهُمَا فَصَلُّوا حَتَّى يَنْجَلِيَ»  

There was an eclipse of the sun in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had died. The people began to to say that there was an eclipse on account of the death of Ibrahim. The Prophet ﷺ stood up and led the people in prayer performing six bowings and four prostrations. he said: Allah is most great, and then recited from the Qur'an and prolonged the recitation. He then bowed nearly as long as he stood. He then raised his head and recited from the Qur'an but it was less than the first (recitation). He then bowed nearly as long as he stood. He then raised his head and then recited from the Quran for the third time, but it was less than the second recitation. He then bowed nearly as long as he stood. he then raised his head and then recited from the Qur'an for the third time, but it was less than the second recitation. he then bowed nearly as long as he stood. Then he raised his head and went down for prostration. he made two prostrations. He then stood and made three bowings before prostrating himself, the preceding bowing being more lengthy than the following, but he bowed nearly as long as he stood. He then stepped back during the prayer and the rows (of the people) too stepped back along with him. Then he stepped forward and stood in his place, and the rows too stepped forward. he then finished the prayer and the sun had become bright. He said: O people, the sun and the moon are two of Allah's signs; they are not eclipsed on account of a man's death. So when you see anything of that nature, offer prayer until the sun becomes bright. The narrator then narrated the rest of the tradition. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1178)   

انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَذَلِكَ يَوْمَ مَاتَ فِيهِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ إِنَّمَا انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ لِمَوْتِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَقَامَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ وَأَرْبَعَ سَجَدَاتٍ كَبَّرَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ فَأَطَالَ الْقِرَاءَةَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ نَحْوًا مِمَّا قَامَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَرَأَ دُونَ الْقِرَاءَةِ الْأُولَى ثُمَّ رَكَعَ نَحْوًا مِمَّا قَرَأَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَرَأَ دُونَ الْقِرَاءَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ نَحْوًا مِمَّا قَرَأَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى ثَلَاثَ رَكَعَاتٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لَيْسَ فِيهَا رَكْعَةٌ إِلَّا الَّتِي قَبْلَهَا أَطْوَلُ مِنَ الَّتِي بَعْدَهَا إِلَّا أَنَّ رُكُوعَهُ نَحْوًا مِنْ قِيَامِهِ ثُمَّ تَأَخَّرَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَتَأَخَّرَتِ الصُّفُوفُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ فَتَقَدَّمْتُ الصُّفُوفُ مَعَهُ فَقَضَى الصَّلَاةَ وَقَدْ أَضَاءَتِ الشَّمْسُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ بَشَرٍ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ شَيْئًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَصَلُّوا حَتَّى يَنْجَلِيَ»  

'The sun was eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led the people in prayer. He stood for a long time, then he bowed for a long time, then he stood for a long time, but it was shorter than the first standing, then he bowed for a long time but it was shorter than the first bowing. Then he stood up, then he prostrated, then he did the same in the second rak'ah, and when he finished the eclipse had ended. Then he addressed the people; he praised and glorified Allah (SWT), then he said: The sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allah (SWT). They do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone. If you see that then call upon Allah (SWT), the Mighty and Sublime, and magnify Him, and give charity. Then he said: 'O Ummah of Muhammad! There is no one more jealous than Allah (SWT), the Mighty and Sublime, when his male or female slave commits zina. O Ummah of Muhammad! By Allah, if you knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep much.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1474)  

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالنَّاسِ فَقَامَ وَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ وَهُوَ دُونَ الْقِيَامِ الْأَوْلِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ وَهُوَ دُونَ الرُّكُوعِ الْأَوْلِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَسَجَدَ ثُمَّ فَعَلَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُخْرَى مِثْلَ مَا فَعَلَ فِي الْأُولَى ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ وَقَدِ انْجَلَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرِ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ لَا يَخْسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَادْعُوا اللَّهَ وَكَبِّرُوا وَتَصَدَّقُوا» وَقَالَ «يَا أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ وَاللَّهِ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ أَغْيَرُ مِنَ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَزْنِي عَبْدُهُ أَوْ تَزْنِي أُمَّتُهُ يَا أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَاللَّهِ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا»  

"There was an eclipse of the sun during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He stood and prayed, standing for a very long time, then he bowed for a very long time. Then he stood up and (remained standing) for a very long time, but shorter than the first time. Then he bowed for a very long time, but shorter than the first time. Then he prostrated, then he raised his head and stood for a long time, but it was shorter than the first time. The he stood up and (remained standing) for a long time, but it was shorter than the first time. Then he prostrated, and when he finished his prayer, the eclipse had ended. He addressed the people and praised and glorified Allah, then he said: 'The sun and the moon do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone. If you see that then pray, give in charity, and remember Allah, the Mighty and Sublime.' And he said: 'O Ummah of Muhammad! There is no one who is more jealous than Allah (SWT) when His male or female slave commits Zina. O Ummah of Muhammad, if you knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep much.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1500)   

انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ جِدًّا ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ جِدًّا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ وَهُوَ دُونَ الْقِيَامِ الْأَوْلِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ وَهُوَ دُونَ الرُّكُوعِ الْأَوْلِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ ثُمَّ انْحَدَرَ بِالسُّجُودِ فَسَجَدَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ وَهُوَ دُونَ الْقِيَامِ الْأَوْلِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ وَهُوَ دُونَ الرُّكُوعِ الْأَوْلِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ وَهُوَ دُونَ الْقِيَامِ الْأَوْلِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ وَهُوَ دُونَ الرُّكُوعِ الْأَوْلِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَانْحَدَرَ بِالسُّجُودِ فَسَجَدَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ لَا يَنْخَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَصَلُّوا وَتَصَدَّقُوا وَكَبِّرُوا» «يَا أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ إِنْ أَحَدٌ أَغْيَرَ مِنَ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَزْنِيَ عَبْدُهُ أَوْ تَزْنِيَ أُمَّتُهُ يَا أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا»  

[Machine] The sun eclipsed during the time of the Prophet ﷺ , so he stood up in alarm and said, "Verily, these signs that Allah sends are not for the death or life of anyone, but Allah sends them to make His servants fearful. So, when you see anything of them, hasten to remember Him and seek His forgiveness."  

خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ زَمَنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَامَ فَزِعًا ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْآيَاتُ الَّتِي يُرْسِلُ اللَّهُ لَا تَكُونُ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ يُرْسِلُهَا يُخَوِّفُ بِهَا عِبَادَهُ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا فَافْزَعُوا إِلَى ذِكْرِهِ وَاسْتِغْفَارِهِ»  

[Machine] "I was throwing stones at them in the city when it collapsed, so I abandoned it. Then I said, 'By Allah, I will see what happens to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the eclipse of the sun.' He was standing and raising his hands in prayer. He began to glorify, praise, exalt, and invoke until his voice became hoarse. When he finished, he recited two chapters of the Quran and performed two units of prayer."  

«كُنْتُ أَرْمِي بَأْسَهُمٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ إِذْ خَسَفَتْ فَنَبَذْتُهَا» فَقُلْتُ «وَاللَّهِ لَأَنْظُرَنَّ مَا يُحَدِّثُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي كُسُوفِ الشَّمْسِ» قَالَ «فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَهُوَ ﷺ قَائِمٌ فِي الصَّلَاةِ رَافِعٌ يَدَيْهِ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ يُسَبِّحُ وَيَحْمَدُ وَيُكَبِّرُ وَيُهَلِّلُ وَيَدْعُو حَتَّى حَسَرَ فَلَمَّا حَسَرَ عَنْهَا قَرَأَ سُورَتَيْنِ وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ»  

"The Prophet prayed the eclipse payer, and he recited aloud in it." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 563)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «جَهَرَ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فِي صَلَاةِ الْكُسُوفِ»  

Aishah said: "The sun was eclipsed during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and it was called out: 'As-salatu jam'iah (prayer is about to begin in congregation).' So the people gathered and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led them in prayer, bowing four times in two rak'ahs and prostrating four times." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1473)   

«كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعَ سَجَدَاتٍ وَجَهَرَ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ»  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in the eclipse prayer, and we did not hear his voice.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1264)  

«صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْكُسُوفِ لَا نَسْمَعُ لَهُ صَوْتًا»  

When, a boy from the Ansar and I were shooting (arrows) towards two of our targets, the sun was sighted by the people at the height of two or three lances above the horizon. It became black like the black herb called tannumah. One of us said to his companion: Let us go to the mosque; by Allah, this incident of the sun will surely bring something new in the community of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. As we reached it, we suddenly saw that he (the Prophet) had already come out (of his house). He stepped forward for a long time as much as he could do so in the prayer. But we did not hear his voice. He then performed a bowing and prolonged it as much as he could do in the prayer. But we did not hear his voice. He then prostrated himself with us and prolonged it which he never did in the prayer before. But we did not hear his voice. He then did similarly in the second rak'ah. The sun became bright when he sat after the second rak'ah. Then he uttered the salutation. He then stood up, praised Allah, and extolled Him, and testified that there was no god but Allah and testified that he was His servant and apostle. Ahmad ibn Yunus then narrated the address of the Prophet ﷺ. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1184)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ سَمُرَةُ بَيْنَا أَنَا يَوْمًا وَغُلَامٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ نَرْمِي غَرَضًا لَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَدْرَ رُمْحَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةٍ فِي عَيْنِ النَّاظِرِ مِنَ الْأُفُقِ اسْوَدَّتْ فَقَالَ أَحَدُنَا لِصَاحِبِهِ انْطَلَقَ بِنَا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَوَاللَّهِ لَتُحْدِثَنَّ هَذِهِ الشَّمْسُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي أُمَّتِهِ حَدِيثًا قَالَ فَدَفَعْنَا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَوَافَقْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَإِذَا هُوَ بَارَزٌ حِينَ خَرَجَ إِلَى النَّاسِ قَالَ «فَتَقَدَّمَ فَصَلَّى بِنَا كَأَطْوَلِ مَا قَامَ بِنَا فِي صَلَاةٍ قَطُّ لَا نَسْمَعُ لَهُ صَوْتًا ثُمَّ سَجَدَ كَأَطْوَلِ مَا سَجَدْنَا فِي صَلَاةٍ قَطُّ لَا نَسْمَعُ لَهُ صَوْتًا ثُمَّ قَعَدَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ» قَالَ فَوَافَقَ تَجَلِّي الشَّمْسُ جُلُوسَهُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ فَسَلَّمَ «  

"There was an eclipse of the sun and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed and the people with him. He stood for long time reciting something like Surah Al-Baqarah, then he raised (his head) and stood for a long time, then he raised (his head) and stood for a long time which was shorter than the first time. Then he bowed for a long time, which was shorter than the first time, then he prostrated. Then he got up and stood for a long time, which was shorter than the first time, then he bowed for a long time, which was shorter than the first time, then he raised (his head) and stood for a long time, which was shorter than the first time. Then he bowed for a long time, which was shorter than the first time, then he prostrated, then he finished (his prayer) and the sun had been clear. He said: 'The sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allah (SWT) and they do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone. If you see that then remember Allah (SWT) the Mighty and Sublime.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, we saw you stretching out your hand when you were standing, then we saw you moving backward. He said: 'I saw Paradise-or it was shown to me- and I reached out to a take a bunch of its fruits. If I ha taken it you would have eaten from it for as long as this world lasts. And I saw Hell and I have never seen anything like it, and I saw that most of its inhabitants are women.' They said: "Why, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He said: 'Because of their ingratitude.' It was said: 'Are they ungrateful to Allah?' He said: 'They are ungrateful to their husbands and they are ungrateful for kind treatment. If you are kind to one of them for a lifetime, then she sees (one) bad thing from you, she will say: I have never seen anything good from you.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1493)  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالنَّاسُ مَعَهُ فَقَامَ طَوِيلًا نَحْوًا مِنْ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَقَامَ طَوِيلًا وَهُوَ دُونَ الْقِيَامِ الْأَوْلِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلًا وَهُوَ دُونَ الرُّكُوعِ الْأَوْلِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ ثُمَّ قَامَ قِيَامًا طَوِيلًا وَهُوَ دُونَ الْقِيَامِ الْأَوْلِ وَرَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلًا وَهُوَ دُونَ الرُّكُوعِ الْأَوْلِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ وَقَدْ تَجَلَّتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ لَا يَخْسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ» فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَأَيْنَاكَ تَنَاوَلْتَ شَيْئًا فِي مَقَامِكَ هَذَا ثُمَّ رَأَيْنَاكَ تَكَعْكَعْتَ فَقَالَ «إِنِّي رَأَيْتَ الْجَنَّةَ أَوْ أُرِيتُ الْجَنَّةَ فَتَنَاوَلْتُ مِنْهَا عُنْقُودًا وَلَوْ أَخَذْتُهُ لَأَكَلْتُمْ مِنْهُ مَا بَقِيَتِ الدُّنْيَا وَرَأَيْتُ النَّارَ فَلَمْ أَرَ كَالْيَوْمِ مَنْظَرًا قَطُّ وَرَأَيْتُ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِهَا النِّسَاءَ» قَالُوا بِمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «بِكُفْرِهِنَّ» قِيلَ يَكْفُرْنَ بِاللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «يَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ وَيَكْفُرْنَ الْإِحْسَانَ لَوْ أَحْسَنْتَ إِلَى إِحْدَاهُنَّ الدَّهْرَ ثُمَّ رَأَتْ مِنْكَ شَيْئًا قَالَتْ وَاللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْكَ خَيْرًا قَطُّ»  

[Machine] "We used to see the signs during the time of the Prophet ﷺ with blessings, but you see them as terrifying."  

«كُنَّا نَرَى الْآيَاتِ فِي زَمَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بَرَكَاتٍ وَأَنْتُمْ تَرَوْنَهَا تَخْوِيفًا»  

The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to command us to free slaves on the occasion of an eclipse (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1192)  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَتَاقَةِ فِي صَلَاةِ الْكُسُوفِ»  

[Machine] He once stood as a preacher and mentioned a hadith in his sermon about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Samurah, one of the Ansar, said, "There was a young boy with me, and we used to throw arrows at a target during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . When the sun rose, it would shine in the eyes of the onlooker like the tip of a spear or two spears turned black. One of us said to his companion, 'Let's go to the Mosque of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and, by Allah, the sun will rise today and mention a hadith to the Messenger of Allah in his ummah.' So, we went towards the mosque until we encountered the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he came out and straightened his back and prayed. He stood with us as long as he ever stood in prayer, to the point where we could not hear his voice. Then he stood up and did the same in the second raka'ah. Then he sat, and as he sat, the sunlight cleared. He gave the Salam and left, and he praised Allah and glorified Him, and testified that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and that he is the servant of Allah and His Messenger. Then he said, 'O people, I am only human, a Messenger who warns you about Allah. If you know that I have omitted anything in conveying the message of my Lord, then let me know.' The people said, 'We bear witness that you have conveyed the message of your Lord, advised your ummah, and fulfilled what was upon you.' Then he said, 'As for what follows, there are people who claim that when an eclipse occurs for the sun and moon, and when stars are removed from their positions due to the death of great men from the people of the earth, they are lying. Rather, these are the signs of Allah by which He frightens His servants. Thus, let those of them who will repent, as by Allah, I have seen things that you have not encountered in your worldly affairs nor in your Hereafter since I stood praying. And by Allah, the Hour will not be established until thirty liars will emerge, one of whom is the one-eyed False Messiah (Dajjal), whose eye is like the raised lump of flesh on the side of 'Abi Talha, the blind man, between him and the room of 'A'ishah. It will appear that he (Dajjal) is Allah, so whoever believes in him, confirms his belief in him, and follows him, then his good deeds will not benefit him from the account of his past deeds. And he (Dajjal) will appear on the entire earth except for the Haram and the blessed land of Al-Masjid al-Aqsa. And truly, he will drive the Muslims towards Al-Masjid al-Aqsa, where they will be besieged intensely."  

قَامَ يَوْمًا خَطِيبًا فَذَكَرَ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ حَدِيثًا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ سَمُرَةُ بَيْنَا أَنَا وَغُلَامٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ نَرْمِي غَرَضًا لَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذَا طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَكَانَتْ فِي عَيْنِ النَّاظِرِ قِيدَ رُمْحٍ أَوْ رُمْحَيْنِ اسْوَدَّتْ فَقَالَ أَحَدُنَا لِصَاحِبِهِ انْطَلَقَ بِنَا إِلَى مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَوَاللَّهِ لَتُحْدِثَنَّ هَذِهِ الشَّمْسُ الْيَوْمَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ فِي أُمَّتِهِ حَدِيثًا قَالَ فَدَفَعْنَا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَوَافَقْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ خَرَجَ فَاسْتَقَامَ فَصَلَّى فَقَامَ بِنَا كَأَطْوَلِ مَا قَامَ فِي صَلَاةٍ قَطُّ لَا نَسْمَعُ لَهُ صَوْتًا ثُمَّ قَامَ فَفَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ بِالرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فَوَافَقَ جُلُوسَهُ تَجَلِّي الشَّمْسِ فَسَلَّمَ وَانْصَرَفَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَشَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ رَسُولٌ أُذَكِّرُكُمْ بِاللَّهِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي قَصَّرْتُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ بِتَبْلِيغِ رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّي لَمَّا أَخْبَرْتُمُونِي» فَقَالَ النَّاسُ نَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ قَدْ بَلَّغْتَ رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّكِ وَنَصَحْتَ لِأُمَّتِكَ وَقَضَيْتَ الَّذِي عَلَيْكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ رِجَالًا يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ كُسُوفَ هَذِهِ الشَّمْسِ وَكُسُوفَ هَذَا الْقَمَرِ وَزَوَالِ هَذِهِ النُّجُومِ عَنْ مَطَالِعِهَا لِمَوْتِ رِجَالٍ عُظَمَاءَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ وَإِنَّهُمْ كَذَبُوا وَلَكِنَّهَا آيَاتُ اللَّهِ يَعْتَبِرُ بِهَا عِبَادُهُ لَيَنْظُرَ مَنْ يُحَدِّثُ مِنْهُمْ تَوْبَةً وَإِنِّي وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ مَا أَنْتُمْ لَاقُونَ فِي أَمْرِ دُنْيَاكُمْ وَأَخِرَتِكُمْ مُذْ قُمْتُ أُصَلِّي وَإِنَّهُ وَاللَّهِ مَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ ثَلَاثُونَ كَذَّابًا أَحَدُهُمُ الْأَعْوَرُ الدَّجَّالُ مَمْسُوحُ عَيْنِ الْيُسْرَى كَأَنَّهَا عَيْنُ أَبِي تِحْيَى شَيْخٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ حُجْرَةِ عَائِشَةَ خَشَبَةٌ وَإِنَّهُ مَتَى يَخْرُجُ فَإِنَّهُ سَوْفَ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ اللَّهُ فَمَنْ آمَنَ بِهِ وَصَدَّقَهُ وَاتَّبَعَهُ فَلَيْسَ يَنْفَعُهُ عَمِلٌ صَالِحٌ مِنْ عَمِلٍ سَلَفَ وَإِنَّهُ سَيَظْهَرُ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا غَيْرَ الْحَرَمِ وَبَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ وَإِنَّهُ يَسُوقُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ فَيُحَاصَرُونَ حِصَارًا شَدِيدًا»  

"A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, the livestock have died and the routes have been cut off; pray to Allah (SWT), the Mighty and Sublime.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed to Allah (SWT) and it rained from that Friday until the next. Then a man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: 'The houses have been destroyed, the routes have been cut off and the livestock have died.' He said: 'O Allah, on the tops of the mountains and hills, in the bottom of the valleys and where the trees grow.' So (the rain) was lifted from Al-Madinah like a garment being removed." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1504)   

أَنَّهُ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلَكَتِ الْمَوَاشِي وَتَقَطَّعَتِ السُّبُلُ فَادْعُ اللَّهَ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَمُطِرْنَا مِنَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ قَالَ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَهَدَّمَتِ الْبُيُوتُ وَهَلَكَتِ الْمَوَاشِي فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْجِبَالِ وَالْآكَامِ وَبُطُونِ الْأَوْدِيَةِ وَمَنَابِتِ الشَّجَرِ» قَالَ فَانْجَابَتْ عَنِ الْمَدِينَةِ انْجِيَابَ الثَّوْبِ  

"The Prophet ﷺ was delivering the Khutbah one Friday when the people stood up and shouted: 'O Prophet of Allah! There has been no rain and the animals have died. Pray to Allah (SWT) to send us rain.' He said: 'O Allah, send us rain; O Allah, send us rain.' By Allah (SWT), we could not see even a wisp of a cloud in the sky, then a cloud appeared and grew, and it rained. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came down and prayed, and the people departed, and it continued to rain until the following Friday. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up to deliver the Khutbah, they called out to him and said: 'O Prophet of Allah, the houses are destroyed and the routes are cut off. Pray to Allah to take it away from us.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled and said: 'O Allah, around us and not on us!' Then is dispersed from Al-Madinah and rain fell around Al-Madinah but not a single drop fell on Al-Madinah. I looked, and it was in something like a ring." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1517)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ النَّاسُ فَصَاحُوا فَقَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ قَحِطَ الْمَطَرُ وَاحْمَرَّ الشَّجَرُ وَهَلَكَتِ الْبَهَائِمُ فَادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَسْقِيَنَا فَقَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ اسْقِنَا» قَالَ وَايْمُ اللَّهِ مَا نَرَى فِي السَّمَاءِ قَزَعَةً مِنْ سَحَابٍ قَالَ فَنَشَأَتْ سَحَابَةٌ فَانْتَشَرَتْ ثُمَّ إِنَّهَا مَطَرَتْ فَنَزَلَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى وَانْصَرَفَ فَلَمْ تَزَلْ تُمْطِرُ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ الْأُخْرَى فَلَمَّا قَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ صَاحُوا وَقَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ تَهَدَّمَتِ الْبُيُوتُ وَانْقَطَعَتِ السُّبُلُ فَادْعُ اللَّهَ يَحْبِسْهَا عَنَّا قَالَ فَتَبَسَّمَ ﷺ وَقَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَلَا عَلَيْنَا» قَالَ فَتَقَشَّعَتْ عَنِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَجَعَلَتْ تُمْطِرُ حَوْلَهَا وَمَا تَقْطُرُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ قَطْرَةً قَالَ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَإِنَّهَا لَفِي مِثْلِ الْإِكْلِيلِ  

"There was no rain for a year, so some of the Muslims went to the Prophet ﷺ one Friday and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, there has been no rain; the land has become bare and our wealth has been destroyed.' He raised his hands, and we did not see any cloud in the sky. He stretched forth his hands until I could see the whiteness of his armpits, praying to Allah (SWT) for rain. When we finished praying Jumu'ah, even a young man whose house nearby was worried about how he would get home. That lasted for a week, then on the following Friday they said: 'O Messenger of Allah, houses have been destroyed and all travel has been ceased.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled at how quickly the sons of Adam become weary, and he said with his hands raised: 'O Allah, around us and not on us,' and it dispersed from Al-Madinah." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1527)  

قَحِطَ الْمَطَرُ عَامًا فَقَامَ بَعْضُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَحِطَ الْمَطَرُ وَأَجْدَبَتِ الْأَرْضُ وَهَلَكَ الْمَالُ قَالَ فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَمَا نَرَى فِي السَّمَاءِ سَحَابَةً فَمَدَّ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ بَيَاضَ إِبْطَيْهِ يَسْتَسْقِي اللَّهَ فَمَا صَلَّيْنَا الْجُمُعَةَ حَتَّى أَهَمَّ الشَّابَّ الْقَرِيبَ الدَّارِ الرُّجُوعُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَدَامَتْ جُمُعَةً فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ الْجُمُعَةُ الَّتِي تَلِيهَا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَهَدَّمَتِ الْبُيُوتُ وَاحْتَبَسَ الرُّكْبَانُ قَالَ فَتَبَسَّمَ ﷺ لِسُرْعَةِ مَلَالَةِ ابْنِ آدَمَ وَقَالَ بِيَدَيْهِ «اللَّهُمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَلَا عَلَيْنَا» قَالَ فَتَكَشَّفَتْ عَنِ الْمَدِينَةِ  

The people complained to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ of the lack of rain, so he gave an order for a pulpit. It was then set up for him in the place of prayer. He fixed a day for the people on which they should come out. Aisha said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when the rim of the sun appeared, sat down on the pulpit, and having pronounced the greatness of Allah and expressed His praise, he said: You have complained of drought in your homes, and of the delay in receiving rain at the beginning of its season. Allah has ordered you to supplicate Him has and promised that He will answer your prayer. Then he said: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Universe, the Compassionate, the Merciful, the Master of the Day of Judgment. There is no god but Allah Who does what He wishes. O Allah, Thou art Allah, there is no deity but Thou, the Rich, while we are the poor. Send down the rain upon us and make what Thou sendest down a strength and satisfaction for a time. He then raised his hands, and kept raising them till the whiteness under his armpits was visible. He then turned his back to the people and inverted or turned round his cloak while keeping his hands aloft. He then faced the people, descended and prayed two rak'ahs. Allah then produced a cloud, and the storm of thunder and lightning came on. Then the rain fell by Allah's permission, and before he reached his mosque streams were flowing. When he saw the speed with which the people were seeking shelter, he ﷺ laughed till his back teeth were visible. Then he said: I testify that Allah is Omnipotent and that I am Allah's servant and apostle. Abu Dawud said: This is a ghraib (rate) tradition, but its chain is sound. The people of Medina recite "maliki" (instead of maaliki) yawm al-din" (the master of the Day of Judgement). But this tradition (in which the word maalik occurs) is an evidence for them. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1173)   

شَكَا النَّاسُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَحْطَ الْمَطَرُ فَأَمَرَ بِالْمِنْبَرِ فَوُضِعَ لَهُ فِي الْمُصَلَّى وَوَعَدَ النَّاسَ يَوْمًا يَخْرُجُونَ فِيهِ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ بَدَا حَاجِبُ الشَّمْسِ فَقَعَدَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَيْ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّكُمْ شَكَوْتُمْ جَدْبَ جِنَانِكُمْ وَاحْتِبَاسَ الْمَطَرِ عَنْ إِبَّانِ زَمَانِهِ عَنْكُمْ وَقَدْ أَمَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ أَنْ تَدَعُوهُ وَوَعَدَكُمْ أَنْ يَسْتَجِيبَ لَكُمْ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «{الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ} لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ تَفْعَلُ مَا تُرِيدُ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْغَنِيُّ وَنَحْنُ الْفُقَرَاءُ أَنْزِلْ عَلَيْنَا الْغَيْثَ وَاجْعَلْ مَا أَنْزَلْتَ لَنَا قُوَّةً وَبَلَاغًا إِلَى خَيْرٍ» ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ ﷺ حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا بَيَاضَ إِبْطَيْهِ ثُمَّ حَوَّلَ إِلَى النَّاسِ ظَهْرَهُ وَقَلَبَ أَوْ حَوَّلَ رِدَاءَهُ وَهُوَ رَافِعٌ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَنَزَلَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَأَنْشَأَ اللَّهُ سَحَابًا فَرَعَدَتْ وَأَبْرَقَتْ وَأَمْطَرَتْ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ فَلَمْ نَلْبَثْ فِي مَسْجِدِهِ حَتَّى سَالَتِ السُّيُولُ فَلَمَّا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَثَقَ الثِّيَابِ عَلَى النَّاسِ ضَحِكَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ وَقَالَ «أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَإِنِّي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ»  

[Machine] They used to seek rain (from God) through the Prophet Muhammadﷺ so he would pray for rain and they would be given rain. After the death of the Prophet Muhammadﷺ during the reign of Umar, they experienced drought. Umar went out with Abbas to seek rain through him, and Umar said, "O Allah, when we experienced drought during the time of your Prophet and sought rain through him, you granted us rain. And today, I seek your help through the uncle of your Prophet, so grant us rain." The rain then fell.  

«كَانُوا إِذَا قَحَطُوا عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ اسْتَسْقَوْا بِالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَيَسْتَسْقِي لَهُمْ فَيُسْقَوْنَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي إِمَارَةِ عُمَرَ قَحَطُوا فَخَرَجَ عُمَرُ بِالْعَبَّاسِ يَسْتَسْقِي بِهِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا كُنَّا إِذَا قَحَطْنَا عَلَى عَهْدِ نَبِيِّكَ ﷺ وَاسْتَسْقُينَا بِهِ فَسَقَيْتَنَا وَأَنَا نَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَيْكَ الْيَوْمَ بِعَمِّ نَبِيِّكَ ﷺ فَاسْقِنَا قَالَ فَسُقُوا»  

“One of the chiefs* sent me to Ibn ‘Abbas to ask him about the prayer for rain. Ibn ‘Abbas said: ‘What kept him from asking me?’ He said: ‘The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out humbly, walking with a humble and moderate gait, imploring, and he performed two Rak’ah as he used to pray for ‘Eid, but he did not give a sermon like this sermon of yours.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1266)   

«خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُتَبَذِّلًا مُتَمَسْكِنًا مُتَضَرِّعًا مُتَوَاضِعًا وَلَمْ يَخْطُبْ خُطْبَتَكُمْ هَذِهِ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ كَمَا يُصَلِّي فِي الْعِيدِ»  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not raise his hands during any supplication except when praying for rain, when he used to raise his hands so high that the whiteness of his armpits could be seen." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1513)  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ إِلَّا فِي الِاسْتِسْقَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يُرَى بَيَاضُ إِبْطَيْهِ»  

The Prophet ﷺ went out and prayed for rain, then he prayed two rak'ahs in which he recited loudly. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1522)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «اسْتَسْقَى فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَجَهَرَ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to seek rainfall so he faced the Qibla, turned his back towards the people, flipped his cloak, and performed two loud Rak'ahs during which he recited out loud.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ «خَرَجَ يَسْتَسْقِي فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ وَوَلَّى ظَهْرَهُ النَّاسَ وَقَلَبَ رِدَاءَهُ وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ جَهَرَ فِيهِمَا بِالْقِرَاءَةِ»  

"Abbad bin Tamim told me that he heard his paternal uncle, who was one of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out one day to pray for rain. He turned his back toward the people, praying to Allah (SWT), and he turned to face the Qiblah. He turned his rida' around, then he prayed two rak'ahs." (One of the narrators) Ibn Abi Dhi'b said in the hadith: "And he recited in them both." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1519)   

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَمَّهُ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا يَسْتَسْقِي فَحَوَّلَ إِلَى النَّاسِ ظَهْرَهُ وَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ وَحَوَّلَ رِدَاءَهُ وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ»  

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh)prayed for rain wearing a black robe with ornamented border. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh)wanted to reverse it from bottom to top by holding the bottom. But when it was too heavy he turned it round on his shoulders. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1164)  

«اسْتَسْقَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعَلَيْهِ خَمِيصَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ فَأَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ بِأَسْفَلِهَا فَيَجْعَلُهُ أَعْلَاهَا فَلَمَّا ثَقُلَتْ عَلَيْهِ قَلْبِهَا عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ»  

Allah, the Exalted, prescribed prayer for you, through the tongue of your Prophet ﷺ, four rak'ahs while resident, two rak'ahs while travelling and one rak'ah in time of danger. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1247)  

«فَرَضَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا الصَّلَاةَ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ فِي الْحَضَرِ أَرْبَعًا وَفِي السَّفَرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَفِي الْخَوْفِ رَكْعَةً»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led them in offering the fear prayer. One row stood in front of him and another row stood behind him. He led those who were behind in prayer, bowing once and prostrating twice, then they moved forward until they took the place of their companions, and the others came and took their place, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led them in prayer, bowing once and prostrating twice, then he said the taslim, so the Prophet ﷺ had prayed two rak'ahs and they had prayed one. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1545)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ «صَلَّى بِهِمْ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ فَقَامَ صَفٌّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَصَفٌّ خَلْفَهُ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ حَتَّى قَامُوا فَقَامَ هَؤُلَاءِ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَكْعَةً وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ» فَكَانَتْ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَكْعَتَانِ وَلَهُمْ رَكْعَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed a prayer and it was followed by another prayer against the enemy. Then he prayed two units of prayer with them and they went to join their brothers. Others came and he prayed two units of prayer with them and then he concluded with the prayer's ending. So, the Prophet ﷺ performed two units of prayer and each group performed one unit of prayer."  

«صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَصَفٌّ خَلْفَهُ وَصَفٌّ بِإِزَاءِ الْعَدُوِّ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ ذَهَبُوا إِلَى مَصَافِّ إِخْوَانِهِمْ وَجَاءَ الْآخَرُونَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ فَكَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَكْعَتَانِ وَلِكُلِّ طَائِفَةٍ رَكْعَةٌ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed at Dhi Qarad and the people formed two rows behind him, one row behind him and one row facing the enemy. He led those who were behind him in praying one rak'ah, then they went and took the place of the others, and the others came and he led them in praying one rak'ah, and they did not make it up. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1533)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ «صَلَّى بِذِي قَرَدٍ فَصَفَّ النَّاسُ خَلْفَهُ صَفَّيْنِ صَفٌّ خَلْفَهُ وَصَفٌّ مُوَازِي الْعَدُوِّ فَصَلَّى بِالصَّفِّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ رَجَعَ هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَى مَصَافِّ هَؤُلَاءِ وَجَاءَ هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَى مَصَافِّ هَؤُلَاءِ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً وَلَمْ يَقْضُوا»  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was camping between Dajnan and 'Usfan, besieging the idolaters. The idolaters said: 'These people have a prayer that is dearer to them than their sons and daughters. Plan it, then strike them with a single heavy blow.' Jibril, peace be upon him, came and told the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to divide his companions into two groups, then lead one group in prayer while the others faced the enemy, on guard and with weapons at the ready. So he led them in praying one rak'ah, then they moved back and the others moved forward, and he led them in praying on rak'ah, so that each one of them had prayed one rak'ah with the Prophet ﷺ and the Prophet ﷺ had prayed two rak'ahs." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1544)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَزَلَ بَيْنَ ضُجْنَانَ وَعُسْفَانَ فَحَاصَرَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ قَالَ فَقَالُوا إِنَّ لِهَؤُلَاءِ صَلَاةً هِيَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ أَبْنَائِهِمْ وَأَبْكَارِهِمْ يَعْنُونَ الْعَصْرَ فَأَجْمِعُوا أَمْرَكُمْ ثُمَّ مِيلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ مَيْلَةً وَاحِدَةً قَالَ فَجَاءَ جِبْرِيلُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَقْسِمَ أَصْحَابَهُ شَطْرَيْنِ وَيُصَلِّيَ بِالطَّائِفَةِ الْأُولَى رَكْعَةً وَيَأْخُذُ الطَّائِفَةُ الْأُخْرَى حِذْرَهُمْ وَأَسْلِحَتَهُمْ فَإِذَا صَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً تَأَخَّرُوا وَتَقَدَّمَ الْآخَرُونَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً وَأَخَذَ هَؤُلَاءِ الْآخَرُونَ حِذْرَهُمْ وَأَسْلِحَتَهُمْ فَكَانَتْ لِكُلِّ طَائِفَةٍ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَكْعَةٌ رَكْعَةٌ «  

[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."  

«صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ بِذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ» قَالَتْ «فَصَدَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ النَّاسَ صَدْعَيْنِ فَصَفَّتْ طَائِفَةٌ وَرَاءَهُ وَقَامَتْ طَائِفَةٌ وِجَاهَ الْعَدُوِّ» قَالَتْ «فَكَبَّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَبَّرَتِ الطَّائِفَةُ الَّذِينَ صَفُّوا خَلْفَهُ ثُمَّ رَكَعُوا وَرَكَعُوا ثُمَّ سَجَدَ وَسَجَدُوا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَرَفَعُوا ثُمَّ مَكَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَالِسًا وَسَجَدُوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمِ السَّجْدَةَ الثَّانِيَةَ ثُمَّ قَامُوا فَنَكَصُوا عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ يَمْشُونَ الْقَهْقَرَى حَتَّى قَامُوا مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ وَأَقْبَلَتِ الطَّائِفَةُ الْأُخْرَى فَصَفُّوا خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَكَبِّرُوا ثُمَّ رَكَعُوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ السَّجْدَةَ الثَّانِيَةَ فَسَجَدُوا مَعَهُ ثُمَّ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ رَكْعَتِهِ وَسَجَدُوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمِ السَّجْدَةَ الثَّانِيَةَ ثُمَّ قَامَتِ الطَّائِفَتَانِ جَمِيعًا فَصَفُّوا خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَرَكَعَ بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً وَرَكَعُوا جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَسَجَدُوا جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَرَفَعُوا 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»  

It was narrated from Jabir bin ‘Abdullah that the Prophet ﷺ led his Companions in the fear prayer. He led them all in bowing, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the row nearest him prostrated, and the others stood up, then when he stood up, they prostrated twice by themselves. Then the front row moved back and took their place, and they moved forward until they formed the front row. Then the Prophet ﷺ led them all in bowing, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the row nearest to him prostrated, and when they raised their heads, the others prostrated twice. So all of them bowed with the Prophet ﷺ and some of them prostrated by themselves, and the enemy was in the direction of the Qiblah. (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1260)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «صَلَّى بِأَصْحَابِهِ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ فَرَكَعَ بِهِمَا جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ سَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلُونَهُ وَالْآخَرُونَ قِيَامٌ حَتَّى نَهَضَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ أُولَئِكَ بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ تَأَخَّرَ الصَّفُّ الْمُتَقَدِّمُ فَرَكَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَالصَّفُّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُ فَلَمَّا رَفَعُوا رُءُوسَهُمْ سَجَدَ أُولَئِكَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ كُلُّهُمْ قَدْ رَكَعَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَسَجَدَتْ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَكَانَ الْعَدُوُّ مِمَّا يَلِي الْقِبْلَةَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was in Usfan while the polytheists were in Dujnan. When the Prophet ﷺ performed the Dhuhr prayer, the polytheists saw him bowing and prostrating, so they decided to change their direction. When the Asr prayer approached, the people lined up behind him in two rows. The Prophet ﷺ then said "Allahu Akbar" and everyone following him said the same and they all bowed and prostrated. The row behind them, with their weapons in hand, stood facing the enemy. When the Prophet ﷺ raised his head from prostration, the second row also prostrated. When they raised their heads, they all bowed and prostrated. The row behind them, with their weapons in hand, stood facing the enemy. When the Prophet ﷺ raised his head from prostration, the second row also prostrated.  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِعُسْفَانَ وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ بِضُجْنَانَ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الظُّهْرَ رَآهُ الْمُشْرِكُونَ يَرْكَعُ وَيَسْجُدُ فَأْتَمَرُوا عَلَى أَنْ يُغِيرُوا عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتِ الْعَصْرُ صَفَّ النَّاسُ خَلْفَهُ صَفَّيْنِ فَكَبَّرَ وَكَبَّرُوا جَمِيعًا وَرَكَعَ وَرَكَعُوا جَمِيعًا وَسَجَدَ وَسَجَدَ الصَّفُّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُ وَقَامَ الصَّفُّ الثَّانِي بِسِلَاحِهِمْ مُقْبِلِينَ عَلَى الْعَدُوِّ بِوُجُوهِهِمْ فَلَمَّا رَفَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَأْسَهُ سَجَدَ الصَّفُّ الثَّانِي فَلَمَّا رَفَعُوا رُءُوسَهُمْ رَكَعَ وَرَكَعُوا جَمِيعًا وَسَجَدَ وَسَجَدَ الصَّفُّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُ وَقَامَ الصَّفُّ الثَّانِي بِسِلَاحِهِمْ مُقْبِلِينَ عَلَى الْعَدُوِّ بِوُجُوهِهِمْ فَلَمَّا رَفَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَأْسَهُ سَجَدَ الصَّفُّ الثَّانِي  

[Machine] "We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Usfan, and Khalid ibn Al-Walid was guarding against the pagans. We prayed the noon prayer and the pagans said, 'They were in such a state that if we had wanted, we would have attacked them by surprise, or we would have attacked them while they were unaware.' Then the verse was revealed about shortening the prayer between noon and afternoon. So the people took up their weapons and lined up behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , with one row facing the enemy and the other row facing them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made the takbeer and they all made the takbeer. He performed the rukoo' and they all performed the rukoo', then he raised his head and they all raised theirs. He performed the sujood and the row behind him also performed the sujood, while the others stood on guard. When those who were in sujood were finished, they prostrated, then the next row followed suit and prostrated, and they took their places again, so they all sat down. Then they all offered the salutation upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He prayed this prayer in Usfan and prayed it another day at Bani Sulaym."  

«كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِعُسْفَانَ وَعَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ فَصَلَّيْنَا الظُّهْرَ فَقَالَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ لَقَدْ كَانُوا عَلَى حَالٍ لَوْ أَرَدْنَا لَأَصَبْنَاهُمْ غِرَّةً أَوْ لَأَصَبْنَاهُمْ غَفْلَةً قَالَ فَأُنْزِلَتْ آيَةُ الْقَصْرِ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ فَأَخَذَ النَّاسُ السِّلَاحَ وَصَفُّوا خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَفَّيْنِ مُسْتَقْبِلِي الْعَدُوِّ وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ مُسْتَقْبِلَوهُمْ فَكَبَّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَبَّرُوا جَمِيعًا وَرَكَعَ وَرَكَعُوا جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَرَفَعُوا جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ سَجَدَ وَسَجَدَ الصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ وَقَامَ الْأَخَرُ يَحْرُسُونَهُمْ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ هَؤُلَاءِ مِنْ سُجُودِهِمْ سَجَدَ هَؤُلَاءِ ثُمَّ نَكَصَ الصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ وَتَقَدَّمَ الْآخَرُونَ فَقَامُوا مَقَامَهُمْ فَرَكَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَرَكَعُوا جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَرَفَعُوا جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ سَجَدَ وَسَجَدَ الصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ وَقَامَ الْآخَرُونَ يَحْرُسُونَهُمْ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ هَؤُلَاءِ مِنْ سُجُودِهِمْ سَجَدَ الْآخَرُونَ ثُمَّ اسْتَوُوا مَعَهُ فَقَعَدُوا جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ جَمِيعًا صَلَّاهَا بِعُسْفَانَ وَصَلَّاهَا يَوْمَ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ»  

[Machine] He heard Jabir ibn Abdullah say, "We went on expeditions with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ against a people from Juhaynah and fought them fiercely. After we prayed the Dhuhr prayer, they said, 'If we attacked them now, we would defeat them.' Jabir said that Jibril informed the Prophet ﷺ about that, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned it to us. He said, The prayer between us and them is more beloved to them than the earlier prayer. When the time for prayer came, we formed two rows while the polytheists stood between us and the Qiblah (direction of prayer). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then made the Takbir and we made the Takbir with him. He then performed the Ruku (bowing) and we performed the Ruku with him. He then performed the Sujud (prostration) and the first row performed the Sujud with him. When he stood up from Sujud, the first row performed the Sujud, and the second row advanced and stood in the place of the first row while the first row sat back. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made the Takbir and we made the Takbir with him. He then performed the Ruku and we performed the Ruku with him. He then performed the Sujud and the first row performed the Sujud with him. He then sat down and the second row performed the Sujud. Then, they all gave Salam (peace).  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ «غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَوْمًا مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ فَقَاتَلُوا قِتَالًا شَدِيدًا فَلَمَّا صَلَّيْنَا الظُّهْرَ قَالُوا لَوْ مِلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ مَيْلَةً قَطَعْنَاهُمْ فَأَخْبَرَ جِبْرِيلُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِذَلِكَ فَذَكَرَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ قَالُوا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُمْ صَلَاةٌ هِيَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنَ الْأُولَى فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ صَفَّنَا صَفَّيْنِ وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَكَبَّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَبَّرْنَا مَعَهُ فَرَكَعَ وَرَكَعْنَا مَعَهُ وَسَجَدَ وَسَجَدَ الصَّفُّ الْأَوْلُ مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا قَامَ سَجَدَ الصَّفُّ الثَّانِي ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمُوا فَقَامُوا مَقَامَ الصَّفِّ الْأَوْلِ وَتَأَخَّرَ الصَّفُّ الْأَوْلُ فَكَبَّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَبَّرْنَا مَعَهُ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ وَرَكَعْنَا مَعَهُ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ وَسَجَدَ الصَّفُّ الْأَوْلُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ قَعَدَ فَسَجَدَ الصَّفُّ الثَّانِي ثُمَّ جَلَسُوا جَمِيعًا فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ»  

Did you pray in time of danger with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? AbuHurayrah replied: Yes. Marwan then asked: When? AbuHurayrah said: On the occasion of the Battle of Najd. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up to offer the afternoon prayer. One section stood with him (to pray) and the other was standing before the enemy, and their backs were towards the qiblah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ uttered the takbir and all of them too uttered the takbir, i.e. those who were with him and those who were facing the enemy. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered one rak'ah and the section that was with him also prayed one rak'ah. He then prostrated himself and those who were with him also prostrated, while the other section was standing before the enemy. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then stood up and the section with him also stood up. They went and faced the enemy and the section that was previously facing the enemy stepped forward. They bowed and prostrated while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was standing in the same position. Then they stood up and the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon) prayed another rak'ah and all of them bowed and prostrated along with him. After that the section that was standing before the enemy came forward and they bowed and prostrated, while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained seated and also those who were with him. The salutation then followed. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ uttered the salutation and all of them uttered it together. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed two rak'ahs and each of the two sections prayed one rak'ah with him (and the other by themselves). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1240)   

أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ «كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي تِلْكَ الْغَزَاةِ» قَالَ «فَصَدَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ النَّاسَ صَدْعَيْنِ قَامَتْ مَعَهُ طَائِفَةٌ وَطَائِفَةٌ أُخْرَى مِمَّا يَلِي الْعَدُوَّ وَظُهُورُهُمْ إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ فَكَبَّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَبَّرُوا جَمِيعًا الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ وَالَّذِينَ يُقَاتِلُونَ الْعَدُوَّ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَكْعَةً وَاحِدَةً فَرَكَعَ مَعَهُ الطَّائِفَةُ الَّتِي تَلِيهِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ وَسَجَدَتِ الطَّائِفَةُ الَّتِي تَلِيهِ وَالْآخَرُونَ قِيَامٌ مُقَابِلِي الْعَدُوِّ ثُمَّ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَخَذْتِ الطَّائِفَةُ الَّتِي صَلَّتْ مَعَهُ أَسْلِحَتَهُمْ ثُمَّ مَشَوَا الْقَهْقَرَى عَلَى أَدْبَارِهِمْ حَتَّى قَامُوا مِمَّا يَلِي الْعَدُوَّ وَأَقْبَلَتِ الطَّائِفَةُ الَّتِي كَانَتْ مُقَابَلَةَ الْعَدُوِّ فَرَكَعُوا وَسَجَدُوا وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَائِمٌ كَمَا هُوَ ثُمَّ قَامُوا فَرَكَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَكْعَةً أُخْرَى فَرَكَعُوا مَعَهُ وَسَجَدَ وَسَجَدُوا مَعَهُ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَتِ الطَّائِفَةُ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُقَابِلُ الْعَدُوَّ فَرَكَعُوا وَسَجَدُوا وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَاعِدٌ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ كَانَ السَّلَامُ فَسَلَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَسَلَّمُوا جَمِيعًا فَقَامَ الْقَوْمُ وَقَدْ شَرَكُوهُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ»  

[Machine] "The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ prayed the prayer of fear with one of the two groups, performing one unit of prayer while the other group faced the enemy. Then they switched positions, and the Prophet prayed one unit of prayer with each group. He would then send them off and the groups would take their positions, facing the enemy. The Prophet ﷺ would come to each group and pray one unit of prayer with them, then he would send them off and pray one unit of prayer with the other group."  

«صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ بِإِحْدَى الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ رَكْعَةً وَالطَّائِفَةُ الْأُخْرَى مُوَاجِهَةُ الْعَدُوِّ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا فَقَامُوا مَقَامَ أَصْحَابِهِمْ مُقْبِلِينَ عَلَى الْعَدُوِّ وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ بِهِمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَمَضَى هَؤُلَاءِ فَقَامُوا مَقَامَ أَصْحَابِهِمْ مُقْبِلِينَ عَلَى الْعَدُوِّ وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكُ فَصَلَّى بِهِمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ بِهِمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَقَضَى هَؤُلَاءِ رَكْعَةً وَهَؤُلَاءِ رَكْعَةً»  

'Abdullah bin 'Abbas said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood and the people stood with him, and he said the takbir and they said the takbir. Then he bowed, and some of them bowed, then he prostrated and they prostrated, then he stood for the second rak'ah and those who had prostrated with him moved back and guarded their brothers, and the other group came and bowed and prostrated with the Prophet ﷺ. All the people were praying and saying the takbir, but they were guarding one another." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1534)  

«قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَامَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ فَكَبَّرَ وَكَبَّرُوا مَعَهُ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ وَرَكَعَ مَعَهُ نَاسٌ مِنْهُمْ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ وَسَجَدُوا ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ فَتَأَخَّرَ الَّذِينَ سَجَدُوا مَعَهُ يَحْرُسُونَ إِخْوَانَهُمْ وَأَتَتِ الطَّائِفَةُ الْأُخْرَى فَرَكَعُوا مَعَ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَسَجَدُوا وَالنَّاسُ كُلُّهُمْ فِي صَلَاةٍ يُكَبِّرُونَ وَلَكِنْ يَحْرُسُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا»  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ lined them up in two rows and performed two units of prayer in the row behind, then he greeted and they lagged behind and others came forward, so he performed two units of prayer with them and then greeted. Thus, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed four units of prayer, while the Muslims performed two units of prayer each.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ «صَفَّهُمْ صَفَّيْنِ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ بِالصَّفِّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ وَتَأَخَّرُوا وَتَقَدَّمَ الْآخَرُونَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ فَكَانَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ وَلِلْمُسْلِمِينَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ»  

[Machine] Regarding the shortening of prayers during fear, where was it revealed and where is it? He (the Prophet) said, "We went out to meet a caravan of Quraysh that had come from Syria. When we reached a palm grove, a man approached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with his sword sheathed and asked, 'Are you Muhammad?' He replied, 'Yes.' The man said, 'Do you not fear me?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, 'No.' The man said, 'Who can protect you from me?' He replied, 'Allah protects me from you.' The man then unsheathed his sword and threatened him. The people threatened him in return, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered the people to leave and to take up their arms. Then he called for the prayer, and a group prayed behind him while another group guarded those who faced the enemy. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed two units of prayer with the group that was with him, and the other group stood in lines behind those who had prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and guarded them while facing the enemy. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed two more units of prayer with them, making four units for himself and two for his companions."  

عَنْ إِقْصَارِ الصَّلَاةِ فِي الْخَوْفِ أَيْنَ أُنْزِلَ وَأَيْنَ هُوَ؟ فَقَالَ خَرَجْنَا نَتَلَقَّى عِيرًا لِقُرَيْشٍ أَتَتْ مِنَ الشَّامِ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِنَخْلٍ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَسَيْفُهُ مَوْضُوعٌ فَقَالَ أَنْتَ مُحَمَّدٌ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ أَمَا تَخَافُنِي؟ قَالَ «لَا» قَالَ فَمَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي؟ قَالَ «اللَّهُ يَمْنَعُنِي مِنْكَ» قَالَ فَسَلَّ سَيْفَهُ وَتَهَدَّدَهُ الْقَوْمُ وَأَوْعَدُوهُ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ النَّاسَ بِالرَّحِيلِ وَبِأَخْذِ السِّلَاحِ ثُمَّ نَادَى بِالصَّلَاةِ فَصَلَّتْ طَائِفَةٌ خَلْفَهُ وَطَائِفَةٌ تَحْرُسُ مُقْبِلِينَ عَلَى الْعَدُوِّ فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالطَّائِفَةِ الَّتِي مَعَهُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَأَقْبَلَتِ الطَّائِفَةُ الْأُخْرَى فَقَامَتْ فِي مَصَافِّ الَّذِينَ صَلَّوْا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَحَرَسَتِ الطَّائِفَةُ الَّذِينَ صَلَّوْا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُمْ مُقْبِلُونَ عَلَى الْعَدُوِّ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَصَارَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعًا وَلِأَصْحَابِهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ fought a battle against a group of people near a date palm tree. Some Muslims saw a young man from among them and he was called Awf bin Harith or Gawrath bin Harith. He came and stood over the head of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a sword. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "Who can stop you from me?" He replied, "Allah." Thereupon, the sword slipped from his hand. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took the sword and asked him, "Who can stop you from me?" He replied, "Be better than me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "Do you bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah?" He replied, "No, but I make a condition with you that I will not fight against you nor will I be with those who fight against you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ let him go and he returned to his companions saying, "I came to you from the best of people." When it was noon or afternoon, Abu 'Uwanah doubted and the Prophet ﷺ ordered the prayer of fear. So the people were divided into two groups: one group facing the enemy and another group praying with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . The group with him prayed two units of prayer and then left, occupying the positions of the first group. Then the first group came and they prayed two units of prayer with the Prophet ﷺ . Thus, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed four units of prayer, while the people performed two units of prayer.  

قَاتَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُحَارِبَ خَصَفَةَ بِنَخْلٍ فَرَأَوْا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ غِرَّةً فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ عَوْفُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ أَوْ غَوْرَثُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ حَتَّى قَامَ عَلَى رَأْسِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالسَّيْفِ فَقَالَ مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي؟ قَالَ «اللَّهُ» قَالَ فَسَقَطَ السَّيْفُ مِنْ يَدِهِ فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ السَّيْفَ فَقَالَ لَهُ «مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي» قَالَ كُنَّ خَيْرًا مِنِّي قَالَ «تَشَهَّدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ؟ » قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنْ أُعَاهِدُكَ عَلَى أَنْ لَا أُقَاتِلَكَ وَلَا أَكُونَ مَعَ قَوْمٍ يُقَاتِلُونَكَ قَالَ فَخَلَّى سَبِيلَهُ فَجَاءَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ جِئْتُكُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِ خَيْرِ النَّاسِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ عِنْدَ الظُّهْرِ أَوِ الْعَصْرِ شَكَّ أَبُو عَوَانَةَ أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِصَلَاةِ الْخَوْفِ قَالَ فَكَانَ النَّاسُ طَائِفَتَيْنِ طَائِفَةً بِإِزَاءِ الْعَدُوِّ وَطَائِفَةً يُصَلُّونَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى بِالطَّائِفَةِ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا فَكَانُوا مَكَانَ أُولَئِكَ وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ فَصَلَّوْا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَكَانَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعُ رَكَعَاتٍ وَلِلْقَوْمِ رَكْعَتَانِ  

[Machine] "We accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until we reached a place called "Al-Riqāʿ", when the call for prayer was made, a congregational prayer was established. The Prophet ﷺ then prayed two rak'ahs with a group, and they delayed the prayer and he prayed two rak'ahs with another group. Thus, the total for the Prophet ﷺ was four rak'ahs, and for the people it was two rak'ahs."  

«أَقْبَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذْ كُنَّا بِذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ نُودِيَ الصَّلَاةُ جَامِعَةٌ فَصَلَّى بِطَائِفَةٍ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ تَأَخَّرُوا وَصَلَّى بِالطَّائِفَةِ الْأُخْرَى رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَكَانَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعُ رَكَعَاتٍ وَلِلْقَوْمِ رَكْعَتَانِ»
