English translation

1243. It was reported from Sālim, from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ led one group in prayer while the other group was facing the enemy. Then (the first group) went away and stood in their (the second group's) place, while they (the second group) prayed one Rak'ah with him. Then he said the Taslīm to them. Then each group stood up and completed their respective Rak'ah.” (Saḥīḥ) Abū Dāwūd said: Nāfi‘ and Khālid bin Ma’dān reported like that from Ibn ‘Umar, from the Prophet ﷺ. And similar was said by Masrūq and Yūsuf bin Mihrān from Ibn ‘Abbās. And similar was reported by Yūnus, from Al-Ḥasan, from Abū Mūsā, that he would do that.

1243 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى بِإِحْدَى الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ رَكْعَةً، وَالطَّائِفَةُ الْأُخْرَى مُوَاجِهَةُ الْعَدُوِّ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا، فَقَامُوا فِي مَقَامِ أُولَئِكَ، وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً أُخْرَى، ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ، ثُمَّ قَامَ هَؤُلَاءِ فَقَضَوْا رَكْعَتَهُمْ، وَقَامَ هَؤُلَاءِ فَقَضَوْا رَكْعَتَهُمْ»، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ نَافِعٌ، وَخَالِدُ بْنُ مَعْدَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكَذَلِكَ، قَوْلُ: مَسْرُوقٍ، وَيُوسُفُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَى يُونُسُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى أَنَّهُ فَعَلَهُ

Commentary

In this mode of praying, the Imām becomes like a guardian of the fighters praying behind him by giving them time enough to complete their prayer.
