"We were with Sa'eed bin Al-'Asi in Tabaristan, and Hudhaifah bin Al-Yaman was with us. He said: 'Which of you offered the fear prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' Hudhaifah said: 'I did', and he described it. He said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered the fear prayer, leading one group who had formed rows behind him in praying one rak'ah, while the other group was between him and the enemy. So he led the group that was near him in praying one rak'ah, then they left and took the place of others, and the others came and he led them in praying one rak'ah.'"

أَيُّكُمْ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلاَةَ الْخَوْفِ فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ أَنَا فَوَصَفَ فَقَالَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلاَةَ الْخَوْفِ بِطَائِفَةٍ رَكْعَةً صَفٍّ خَلْفَهُ وَطَائِفَةٍ أُخْرَى بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْعَدُوِّ فَصَلَّى بِالطَّائِفَةِ الَّتِي تَلِيهِ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ نَكَصَ هَؤُلاَءِ إِلَى مَصَافِّ أُولَئِكَ وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led them in offering the fear prayer. Some formed a row behind him and some formed a row facing the enemy. He led them in praying one rak'ah, then they moved away and the others came, and he led them in praying one rak'ah, then they got up and each (group) made up the other rak'ah.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَّى بِهِمْ صَلاَةَ الْخَوْفِ فَصَفَّ صَفًّا خَلْفَهُ وَصَفًّا مُصَافُّو الْعَدُوِّ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ هَؤُلاَءِ وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ قَامُوا فَقَضَوْا رَكْعَةً 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.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَّى بِهِمْ صَلاَةَ الْخَوْفِ فَقَامَ صَفٌّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَصَفٌّ خَلْفَهُ صَلَّى بِالَّذِينَ خَلْفَهُ رَكْعَةً وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ هَؤُلاَءِ حَتَّى قَامُوا فِي مَقَامِ أَصْحَابِهِمْ وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ فَقَامُوا مَقَامَ هَؤُلاَءِ وَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَكْعَةً وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ فَكَانَتْ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَكْعَتَانِ وَلَهُمْ رَكْعَةٌ

[AI] The Messenger of Allahﷺ performed the prayer of fear, with those behind him forming a row, and another row equivalent to the enemy. He prayed with them one unit of prayer, then these (those who were behind him) went to the position of these (those equivalent to the enemy), and these (those equivalent to the enemy) came (forward), and he prayed with them one unit of prayer, then he said the tasleem. So it was two units for the Prophetﷺ and one unit for each group.

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ بِذِي قَرَدٍ صَفًّا خَلْفَهُ وَصَفًّا مُوَازِيَ الْعَدُوِّ وَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَى مَصَافِّ هَؤُلَاءِ وَجَاءَ هَؤُلَاءِ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ فَكَانَتْ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَلِكُلِّ طَائِفَةٍ رَكْعَةً

[AI] Who among you memorizes the prayer of fear with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? Huzaifah said, "I am." So, we stood in a row behind him and in a row that faced the enemy. He prayed with those who were close to him one Rak'ah, then they went to the back lines and he prayed one Rak'ah with them and then gave them the Salam.

أَيُّكُمْ يَحْفَظُ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ أَنَا فَقُمْنَا صَفًّا خَلْفَهُ وَصَفًّا مُوَازِيَ الْعَدُوِّ فَصَلَّى بِالَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ ذَهَبُوا إِلَى مَصَافِّ أُولَئِكَ وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ

[AI] "The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, performed the prayer of fear with a group of his companions. He arranged them in rows and prayed alongside them, matching the movements of the enemy. Then they went towards the enemy, and the enemy came towards them, and they all prayed with the Prophet, peace be upon him, a unit of prayer. Then he greeted them."

«صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ بِذِي قَرَدٍ فَصَفَّ خَلْفَهُ صَفًّا وَصَفًّا مُوَازِيَ الْعَدُوِّ فَصَلَّى مَعَهُ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ ذَهَبُوا إِلَى مَصَافِّ أُولَئِكَ وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ إِلَى مَصَافِّ هَؤُلَاءِ وَصَلَّوْا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ»

[AI] "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»

[AI] "The Messenger of Allah stood up and prayed with them. Then a row stood behind him and a row opposing the enemy, and he prayed with them one rak'ah. Then those (in the back row) went to the place of those (in the front row), and those (in the front row) came forward and he prayed with them one rak'ah, then he turned away."

«قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ فَقَامَ صَفٌّ خَلْفَهُ وَصَفٌّ مُوَازٍ الْعَدُوَّ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَى مَصَفِّ هَؤُلَاءِ وَجَاءَ هَؤُلَاءِ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ»

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led them in offering the fear prayer. Some formed a row behind him and some formed a row facing the enemy. He led them in praying one rak'ah, then they moved away and the others came, and he led them in praying one rak'ah, then they got up and each (group) made up the other rak'ah. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1536)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «صَلَّى بِهِمْ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ فَصَفَّ صَفًّا خَلْفَهُ وَصَفًّا مُصَافِّي الْعَدُوِّ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ هَؤُلَاءِ وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ قَامُوا فَقَضَوْا رَكْعَةً رَكْعَةً»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the prayer of fear with a group carrying monkeys. He lined them up in rows, with a row parallel to the enemy. He prayed a Rak'ah with them, then these people went to the forefront, and those people came and prayed a Rak'ah with the Prophet ﷺ , then they greeted him. Sufyan said: The Prophet ﷺ prayed two Rak'ahs and each group prayed one Rak'ah.

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةُ الْخَوْفِ بِذِي قَرَدٍ فَصَفَّ خَلْفَهُ صَفٌّ وَصَفٌّ مُوَازِي الْعَدُوِّ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَى مَصَافِّ أُولَئِكَ وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ فَصَلُّوا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ فَكَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَلِكُلِّ طَائِفَةٍ رَكْعَةٌ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the prayer of fear, so he arranged the rows behind him and the rows parallel to the enemy. He prayed with them one unit of prayer, then these people went to the place of those people, and those people came to the place of these people, so he prayed with them one unit of prayer, then he gave the salaam.

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ فَصَفَّ صَفًّا خَلْفَهُ وَصَفًّا مُوَازِي الْعَدُوِّ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَى مَصَافِّ هَؤُلَاءِ وَجَاءَ هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَى مَصَافِّ هَؤُلَاءِ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ

"عَنْ زَيْد بن ثَابِت أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْخَوْفِ فَقَالَ: قامَ رَسولُ الله ﷺ ، فَصَلَّى بِهِم، فَقَامَ صَفٌ خَلْفَهُ، وَصَفٌّ مُوَازِى الْعَدُوِّ، فَصَلَّى بِهِم رَكْعَة، ثمَّ ذَهَبَ هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَى مَصَافِّ هَؤُلَاءِ، وَجَاءَ هَؤُلَاءِ فَصَلَّى بِهم رَكْعَةً، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ".

"عَنِ ابْن مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: كُنَّا معَ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ فَصَفَّ صَفّا خَلْفَهُ، وَصَفّا مُوَازىَ الْعَدُوِّ، وَهُمْ في صَلَاةٍ كُلُّهُمْ، فَكَبَّرَ وَكَبَّرُوا جَميعًا، فَصَلَّى بالصَّفِّ الَّذى

يَلِيهِ رَكْعَةً، ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ هَؤَلَاءِ، وَجَاءَ هَؤُلَاءِ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكعَةً، ثُمَّ قَامَ هو وَالَّذِى صَلَّى بِهِمْ الرَّكْعَةَ الثَّانيَةَ فَصَفُّوا مَكَانَهُمْ، ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ هَؤُلَاء إِلَى مَصَافِّ هَؤُلَاءِ، وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ فَقَضَوْا رَكْعَةً".
