"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."

I asked Az-Zuhri, "Did the Prophet ﷺ ever offer the Fear Prayer?" Az-Zuhri said, "I was told by Salim that ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar I had said, 'I took part in a holy battle with Messenger of Allah ﷺ I in Najd. We faced the enemy and arranged ourselves in rows. Then Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up to lead the prayer and one party stood to pray with him while the other faced the enemy. Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the former party bowed and performed two prostrations. Then that party left and took the place of those who had not prayed. Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed one rakʿa (with the latter) and performed two prostrations and finished his prayer with Taslim. Then everyone of them bowed once and performed two prostrations individually.' "

"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."
