[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."
