[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ fought in a battle called "Bir Maunah". The Muslims saw a man from among them named Ghorath bin Al-Harith approaching the Prophet ﷺ with a sword, targeting his head. The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "What is preventing you from me?" He answered, "Allah." The sword fell from his hand, and the Prophet ﷺ picked it up and asked him the same question again. He replied, "Be as the best of those who take prisoners of war." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Do you testify that there is no god but Allah?" He said, "No, but I give you my pledge that I will not fight against you, nor will I be with a people who fight against you." The Prophet ﷺ let him go, and he returned to his companions saying, "I have come to you from the best of people." When it was noon or afternoon, the Prophet ﷺ prayed the prayer of fear with them. The people were divided into two groups, one facing their enemy and the other group praying with the Prophet ﷺ . The Prophet ﷺ led the group who were with him in two units of prayer, then they left and took the position of the group facing their enemy. The Prophet ﷺ led the second group in two units of prayer. So, each group prayed two units of prayer, while the Prophet ﷺ prayed four units.  

قَاتَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مُحَارِبَ خَصَفَةَ بِنَخْلٍ فَرَأَوْا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ غِرَّةً فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ يُقَالَ لَهُ غَوْرَثُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ حَتَّى قَامَ عَلَى رَأْسِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِالسَّيْفِ فَقَالَ مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي؟ قَالَ اللهُ فَسَقَطَ السَّيْفُ مِنْ يَدِهِ فَأَخَذَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي؟ قَالَ كُنْ كَخَيْرِ آخِذٍ قَالَ أَتَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنِّي أُعَاهِدُكَ أَنْ لَا أُقَاتِلَكَ وَلَا أَكُونَ مَعَ قَوْمٍ يُقَاتِلُونَكَ فَخَلَّى سَبِيلَهُ قَالَ فَذَهَبَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ قَالَ قَدْ جِئْتُكُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِ خَيْرِ النَّاسِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ الظُّهْرُ أَوِ الْعَصْرُ صَلَّى بِهِمْ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ فَكَانَ النَّاسُ طَائِفَتَيْنِ طَائِفَةً بِإِزَاءِ عَدُوِّهِمْ وَطَائِفَةً صَلَّوْا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى بِالطَّائِفَةِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَهُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا فَكَانُوا مَكَانَ أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا بِإِزَاءِ عَدُوِّهِمْ وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَكَانَ لِلْقَوْمِ رَكْعَتَانِ رَكْعَتَانِ وَلِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعُ رَكَعَاتٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ fought against Muḥārib ibn Khushafa, and then a man from their side, called Ghawrath ibn al-Ḥārith, stood up against the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a sword. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Who will stop you from me?" He said, "Allah." So the sword fell from his hand, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took it and said, "Who will stop you from me?" He said, "Be like a generous taker." He said, "And do you bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah?" He said, "No, but I promise you that I will not fight nor be with a people who fight against you," so he let him go. Then he went to his people and said, "I have come to you from the best of people." When prayer time arrived, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the prayer of fear. The people were divided into two groups: one group facing their enemy, and another group who prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .

قَاتَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مُحَارِبَ بْنَ خَصَفَةَ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ غَوْرَثُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ حَتَّى قَامَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِالسَّيْفِ فَقَالَ مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي؟ قَالَ اللهُ فَسَقَطَ السَّيْفُ مِنْ يَدِهِ فَأَخَذَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي؟ قَالَ كُنْ كَخَيْرِ آخِذٍ قَالَ وأَتَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ؟ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنْ أُعَاهِدُكَ عَلَى أَنْ لَا أُقَاتِلَكَ وَلَا أَكُونَ مَعَ قَوْمٍ يُقَاتِلُونَكَ فَخَلَّى سَبِيلَهُ فَأَتَى قَوْمَهُ فَقَالَ جِئْتُكُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِ خَيْرِ النَّاسِ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ فَكَانَ النَّاسُ طَائِفَتَيْنِ طَائِفَةً بِإِزَاءِ عَدُوِّهِمْ وَطَائِفَةً صَلَّوْا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى بِالطَّائِفَةِ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَانْصَرَفُوا فَكَانُوا بِمَكَانِ أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ بِإِزَاءِ عَدُوِّهِمْ وَانْصَرَفَ الَّذِينَ بِإِزَاءِ عَدُوِّهِمْ فَصَلَّوْا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَكَانَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺأَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ وَلِلْقَوْمِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ  

[Machine] The messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was killed by an enemy. They noticed a group of Muslims and one man from them approached, known as Ghawrath bin al-Harith, until he stood over the head of the messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, with a sword. The messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, asked, "Who can prevent you from me?" He replied, "Allah." The sword then fell from his hand, and the messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, took it and asked, "Who can prevent you?" He replied, "I testify that there is no god but Allah, and that I am the messenger of Allah." The messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, "I will make a covenant with you that I will not fight you and I will not be with a people who fight against you." The messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, then let him go. He returned to his people and said, "I have come to you from the best of people." When the time for prayer came, the messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, performed the prayer of fear. The people were divided into two groups: one group facing the enemy, and another group praying with the messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. He prayed two units of prayer with those who were with him, then they left and took their positions against the enemy. The messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, then prayed two units of prayer with the other group. So the people prayed two units of prayer, while the prophet, peace be upon him, prayed four units of prayer.  

قَاتَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُحَارِبَ خَصَفَةَ بِنَخْلٍ فَرَأَوْا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ غُرَّةً فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ غَوْرَثُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ حَتَّى قَامَ عَلَى رَأْسِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالسَّيْفِ فَقَالَ مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي؟ قَالَ «اللَّهُ» قَالَ فَسَقَطَ السَّيْفُ مِنْ يَدِهِ فَأَخَذَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ «مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ؟» قَالَ كُنْ خَيْرَ آخِذٍ قَالَ «تَشْهَدُ أَنَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ؟» قَالَ أُعَاهِدُكَ عَلَى أَنْ لَا أُقَاتِلَكَ وَلَا أَكُونُ مَعَ قَوْمٍ يُقَاتِلُونَكَ قَالَ فَخَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَبِيلَهُ فَجَاءَ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ فَقَالَ جِئْتُكُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِ خَيْرِ النَّاسِ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ وَكَانَ النَّاسُ طَائِفَتَيْنِ طَائِفَةٌ بِإِزَاءِ الْعَدُوِّ وَطَائِفَةٌ تُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى بِالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَانْصَرَفُوا فَكَانُوا مَوْضِعَ أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ بِإِزَاءِ عَدُوِّهِمْ وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَكَانَتْ لِلنَّاسِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَلِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَرْبَعُ رَكَعَاتٍ  

[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."
