English translation
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.'"
