English translation
1549. It was narrated that Jâbir said: "We were with the Prophet ﷺ in a palm grove and the enemy was between us and the Qiblah. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said the Takbîr and we all said the Takbîr. Then he bowed and we all bowed. Then the Prophet ﷺ and the row that was closest to him prostrated, while the others remained standing, guarding us. When we stood up, the others prostrated where we were, then they moved forward and he bowed and they all bowed, then he stood up and they all stood up. Then the Prophet ﷺ and the row that was closest to him prostrated, and the others remained standing, guarding them. When they had prostrated and were sitting, the others prostrated where they were, then he said the Salâm." Jâbir said: "As your leaders do." (Sahîh)
