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]

1259 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ خَوَّاتٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي صَلَاةِ الْخَوْفِ قَالَ: «يَقُومُ الْإِمَامُ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ، وَتَقُومُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ مَعَهُ، وَطَائِفَةٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْعَدُوِّ، وَوُجُوهُهُمْ إِلَى الصَّفِّ، فَيَرْكَعُ بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً، وَيَرْكَعُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ وَيَسْجُدُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ فِي مَكَانِهِمْ، ثُمَّ يَذْهَبُونَ إِلَى مُقَامِ أُولَئِكَ، وَيَجِيءُ أُولَئِكَ، فَيَرْكَعُ بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً، وَيَسْجُدُ بِهِمْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ فَهِيَ لَهُ ثِنْتَانِ وَلَهُمْ وَاحِدَةٌ، ثُمَّ يَرْكَعُونَ رَكْعَةً وَيَسْجُدُونَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ» ، قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ: فَسَأَلْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانَ عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، قَالَ: فَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ خَوَّاتٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ لِي يَحْيَى: اكْتُبْهُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ وَلَسْتُ أَحْفَظُ الْحَدِيثَ وَلَكِنْ مِثْلُ حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى
