1259. It was narrated from Sahl bin Abu Hathmah that he said concerning the fear prayer: "The Imâm should stand facing the Qiblah, and a group of them should stand with him, and another group should stand in the direction of the enemy, facing towards the row (of worshipers). He should lead them in one Rak'ah, then they should bow and do two prostrations by themselves where they are. Then they should go and take the place of the others, and the others should come and pray one Rak'ah, bowing and prostrating with the leader. Then he will have prayed two Rak'ah and they will have prayed one; then they should perform another Rak'ah, bowing and performing two prostrations." (Sahih) Muhammad bin Bashshâr said: "I asked Yahya bin Sa'eed Al-Qattân about this Hadith. So he narrated to me, from Shu'bah, from 'Abdur-Rahmân bin Qâsim, from his father, from Sâlih bin Khawwât, from Sahl bin Abu Hathamah, from the Prophet ﷺ similar to what Yahya bin Sa'eed (Al-Ansâri) narrated. He said: "Write it next to it, for I do not remember the narration, but it is similar to the narration of Yahya (no. 1259).[1]
