English translation

1237. It was reported from 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Al-Qāsim, from his father, from Ṣāliḥ bin Khawwāt, from Saḥl bin Abī Ḥathmah that the Prophet ﷺ once led his Companions in the Prayer of Fear. He made them stand behind him in two rows, and then led those that were behind him for one Rak'ah. Then he stood up, and remained standing until those that were behind him prayed (another) Rak'ah. 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)

Arabic text

1237 - حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ خَوَّاتٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى بِأَصْحَابِهِ فِي خَوْفٍ، فَجَعَلَهُمْ خَلْفَهُ صَفَّيْنِ، فَصَلَّى بِالَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُ رَكْعَةً، ثُمَّ قَامَ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ قَائِمًا، حَتَّى صَلَّى الَّذِينَ خَلْفَهُمْ رَكْعَةً، ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمُوا، وَتَأَخَّرَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا قُدَّامَهُمْ، فَصَلَّى بِهِمُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَكْعَةً، ثُمَّ قَعَدَ حَتَّى صَلَّى الَّذِينَ تَخَلَّفُوا رَكْعَةً، ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ»
