"Abdullah bin 'Umar used to narrate that he offered the fear prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: 'The Prophet ﷺ said the takbir and one group of us formed a row behind him while the other group faced the enemy. The Prophet ﷺ led them in bowing once and prostrating twice, then they moved away and faced the enemy, and the other group came and prayed with the Prophet ﷺ, doing likewise. Then he said the taslim, then each man of both groups stood and prayed by himself, bowing once and prostrating twice.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1540)

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered the fear prayer. He stood and said the takbir, and a group of us prayed behind him while another group was facing the enemy. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ bowed once and prostrated twice with them, then they moved away but did not say the taslim. They went to face the enemy and lined up in their places, and the other group came and formed a row behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he led them in praying, bowing once and prostrating twice. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said the taslim and he had bowed twice and prostrated four times. Then the two groups stood up and each man prayed by himself, bowing once and prostrating twice." Abu Bakr IB As-Sunni said: "Az-Zuhri heard two hadiths from Ibn 'Umar, and he did not hear this from him."

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ performed the prayer of fear with one of the two groups, consisting of one raka'ah (unit of prayer) and two prostrations. The other group faced the enemy. Then, the group that was with the Prophet ﷺ left, and the other group approached. The Prophet ﷺ performed one raka'ah and two prostrations with that group. Then, the Prophet ﷺ concluded the prayer by saying the tasleem (salutation), and then each man from the two groups stood up and performed one raka'ah and two prostrations individually.

[Machine] I prayed the prayer of fear behind the Prophet ﷺ. A group of us lined up behind him, while another group went towards the enemy. They shouted the takbeer (saying "Allahu Akbar") and then he (the Prophet) led them in rukoo' (bowing) and sujood (prostration) twice. Then the group that was with him departed, and they (the other group) went towards the enemy. Then another group came and lined up behind him, and the Prophet ﷺ made the tasleem (saying "Assalamu Alaikum" to end the prayer). Then every man from both groups performed a two-rakah prayer for himself.

"I went out on a campaign with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ toward Najd. We confronted the enemy and formed ranks facing them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and led us in prayer. Some of us stood with him and some of us faced the enemy. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ bowed and those who were with him bowed, and prostrated twice. Then they moved away and took the place of the others, and the other group who had not prayed came and he led them in bowing once and prostrating twice. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said the salam and each of the Muslims stood up and bowed once, and prostrated twice individually." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1539)
