1551. It was narrated that Abû 'Ayyâsh Al-Zuraqî said: "We were with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ in 'Usfân and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ led us in praying Zuhr. The
idolators were led that day by Khâlid bin Al-Walîd, and the idolators said: 'We have caught them unawares.' Then the fear prayer was revealed between Zuhr and Asr. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ led us in praying Asr and divided us into two groups, a group that prayed with the Prophet ﷺ and a group that guarded him. He said Takbîr with those who were closest to him and those who were guarding them, then he bowed and both groups bowed with him. Then those who were closest to him prostrated. Then they moved back and the others moved forward and prostrated. Then he stood and led them all in bowing, those who were closest to him and those who were guarding him. Then he led those who were closest to him in prostrating, then they moved back and took the place of their companions and the others came forward and prostrated. Then he said the Taslîm so each group had prayed two Rak'ahs with their Imâm. And he offered the fear prayer once in the land of Banu Sulaym." (Sahih)

Commentary
This narration differs from the preceding narrations in substance that the worshippers of the back row come forward in the front row after performing prostration in their place, while in this narration, the occupants of the back row completed their prostrations after coming forward in the front row. If this is not a mistake of the transmitter, this would constitute one more form of the fear prayer.
