1234 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَهَذَا لَفْظُ ابْنِ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى: قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كَانَ إِذَا سَافَرَ سَارَ بَعْدَ مَا تَغْرُبُ الشَّمْسُ حَتَّى تَكَادَ أَنْ تُظْلِمَ، ثُمَّ يَنْزِلُ فَيُصَلِّي الْمَغْرِبَ، ثُمَّ يَدْعُوا بِعَشَائِهِ فَيَتَعَشَّى، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي الْعِشَاءَ، ثُمَّ يَرْتَحِلُ، وَيَقُولُ: «هَكَذَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصْنَعُ»، قَالَ عُثْمَانُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، سَمِعْت أَبَا دَاوُد، يَقُولُ: وَرَوَى أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ أَنَسًا، كَانَ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَهُمَا حِينَ يَغِيبُ الشَّفَقُ، وَيَقُولُ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ، وَرِوَايَةُ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلُهُ

1236. Abū Ayyāsh Az-Zurqī narrated: "We were with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ at 'Usfān, while the leader of the pagans was Khālid bin Al-Walid. We prayed Zuhr, and the pagans said: 'We had been given a time (in which the Muslims were) heedless; we had been given a time (in which they were) inattentive. If only we had attacked them while they were praying.' So the Verse permitting the shortening (of the prayer) was revealed between Zuhr and ʾAsr. Therefore, when the time for ʾAsr came, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stood facing the Qiblah, while the pagans were facing us. One row stood behind the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and another row stood behind the first row. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ went into Rukū', and all of them also went into Rukū'. Then he went into prostration, and the row that was behind him also went into prostration, while the others stood guard over them. After these ones (the first row) had prostrated twice and stood up, those behind them then prostrated. Then the row that was behind him retreated to the position of the other row, and the rear row moved forward until they were in the position of the first row. Then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ went into Rukū' and they all went into Rukū' with him. Then he went into prostration, and the row behind him also went into prostration, while the others stood guard over them. When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ sat down with the row that was behind him, the others then prostrated, then they all sat down together. He then said the Taslim with all of them. He prayed (in this manner) at 'Usfān, and he also prayed (in this manner) on the Day of Banū Sulaim." (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū Dāwūd said: Ayyūb and Hishām reported it from Abū Az-Zubair, from Jābir, with this meaning, from the Prophet ﷺ. And similarly, Dāwūd bin Ḥuṣain reported it from 'Ikrimah, from Ibn 'Abbās. And 'Abdul-Malik also reported like that from 'Aṭā' from Jāibr. And also Qatādah from Al-Ḥasan, from Ḥiṭṭān, from Abū Mūsā, that he did it. And similarly, 'Ikrimah bin Khālid reported it from Mujāhid from the Prophet ﷺ. And like that, Hishām bin 'Urwah from his father, from the Prophet ﷺ. And this is the view of (Sufyān) Ath-Thawrī.

Then they changed positions with those who were behind him: The (second row) stepped forward, while those who were ahead of them (the first row) retreated back. The Prophet ﷺ led them for one Rak'ah. He then sat until those who had not caught (the first Rak'ah) completed another Rak'ah. Then he said the Taslīm. (Ṣaḥīḥ)

So he led those that were with him in one Rak'ah, and remained standing, while they completed (the prayer) by themselves, then left and faced the enemy. The other group then came, and he led them in the one Rak'ah that was left of his prayer, then remained sitting while they completed (the prayer) by themselves. Then he said the Taslim with them.

1239. It was reported from Yahyā bin Sa'eed, from Al-Qāsim bin Muḥammad, from Ṣāliḥ bin Khawwāt Al-Anṣārī that Saḥl bin Abī Ḥathmah Al-Anṣārī narrated to him about the Prayer of Fear. The Imām should stand with a group of his followers, while another group faces the enemy. The Imām should then lead those behind him in the Rukū' and prostration, then stand up. Once he stands up, he should remain standing while they (the first group) complete by themselves the remaining Rak'ah. Then they should say the Taslim and leave while the Imām remains standing, and go to face the enemy. After this, the other group — the one that has not prayed yet — should say the Takbīr behind the Imām, and he (the Imām) should lead them in the Rukū' and prostration, then say the Taslim. They should then stand up and complete the remaining Rak'ah, then say the Taslim. (Saḥīḥ) Abū Dāwūd said: As for the narration of Yahyā bin Sa'eed from Al-Qāsim, it is similar to the narration of Yazīd bin Rūmān, except that he differs with him regarding the Taslīm. And 'Ubaidullāh reported similar to the narration of Yahyā bin Sa'eed, he said: "He said: 'And he remains standing.'"

1240. Abū Al-Aswad narrated that he heard 'Urwah bin Az-Zubair narrate that Marwān bin Al-Hakam asked Abū Hurairah: "Did you pray the Prayer of Fear with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ?" Abū Hurairah replied: "Yes." Marwān said: "When?" Abū Hurairah said: "The year (of) the battle of Najd. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stood up for the Aṣr prayer, and a group stood with him, while another group was facing the enemy — their backs were towards the Qiblah. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said Takbīr, and everyone said Takbīr as well — those that were behind him, and those that were facing the enemy. Then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ went into the first Rukū', and those that were with him also did so. Then he went into prostration, and those that were with him followed. (During this time) the other group was standing, facing the enemy. Then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stood up, and those that were behind him also stood up, and went to face the enemy, while the group that was initially facing the enemy came, and performed one Rukū' and prostration. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ remained standing as he was (while they did this). Then they stood up, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ went into the second Rukū' and they also went into Rukū'. Then he prostrated, and they also prostrated. Then, the group that was facing the enemy came and performed one Rukū' and prostrated while the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was sitting with those who were with him. It was then time for the Taslīm, so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said the Taslīm and all those that were with him also said the Taslīm. So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ prayed two Rak'ahs, and everyone else from the two groups prayed one Rak'ah.” (Hasan)

Then he went into Rukū' and they all went into Rukū'. Then he prostrated, and they all prostrated, then he came up (from the prostration), and they did the same. Then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ remained sitting while they completed the second prostration by themselves. They then stood up, and retraced their steps, walking backwards, until they stood behind where they had prayed. The second group then came up, and they stood (in line) and said the Takbīr. They then completed the Rukū' by themselves, then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ prostrated, and they prostrated with him. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ then stood up, and they prostrated the second prostration by themselves. Then both the groups stood and prayed with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. He went into Rukū', and they also went into Rukū', then he prostrated and they also prostrated. He then prostrated a second time, and they also prostrated, swiftly, as fast as possible, trying their utmost to hurry it up.

He led them for two Rak'ahs then said the Taslim. Those who had prayed with him went and stood in the place of the other group, while they (the other group) came and prayed behind him. He led them for two Rak'ahs, then said the Taslim. So the Prophet ﷺ prayed four (Rak'ahs) while his Companions prayed two." And this was the procedure (of Prayer of Fear) that Al-Hasan used to hold. (Da'if) Abū Dāwūd said: And the same applies for Maghrib — the Imām will pray six Rak'ahs while the people pray three Rak'ahs.

When I saw him, it was time for Asr, so I said (to myself): 'I fear that there will be (some problem) between me and him that will cause me to delay the prayer.' So I continued to walk and prayed while walking — I would motion (for the prayer) in his direction. When I came close to him, he said to me: 'Who are you?' I said: 'I am a man from the 'Arabs. I have heard that you are gathering (an army to fight) against this man (the Prophet ﷺ), so I have come to you regarding this.' He said: 'I am indeed doing this.' So I walked with him for some time, until, when I was able to, I struck him with my sword until he died." (Hasan)
