1536. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbâs said: "The fear prayer was no more than two prostrations like the prayer of these guards of yours today behind these Imâms of yours, except that it was one group after another. One group stood, although they were all behind the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, and one
group prostrated with him, then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stood up and they all stood with him. Then he bowed and they all bowed with him, then he prostrated and those who had been standing the first time prostrated with him. When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and those who had prostrated with him at the end of their prayer sat, those who had been standing prostrated by themselves, then they sat and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said the Taslim with all of them.” (Hasan)

Commentary
This narration is related by way of Ibn ‘Abbās ؓ and in it are evident two units of fear prayer. Probably, the narration of a one-unit prayer transmitted by Ibn ‘Abbās denotes the prayer performed during extremely perilous and hard situations.
