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)
