1544. It was narrated from Marwân bin Al-Ḥakam that he asked Abû Hurairah: "Did you offer the fear prayer with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ?" Abû Hurairah said: "Yes." He asked: "When?" He said: "In the year of the campaign to Najd. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ stood up to pray Asr and a group stood with him, and another group was facing the enemy, with their backs toward the Qiblah. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said the Takbîr, and they all said the Takbîr, those who were with him and those who were facing the enemy. Then the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ bowed once and the group that was with him bowed, then he and the group that was with him prostrated twice, while the others were standing facing the enemy. Then the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ stood up and the group that was with him stood and went to face the enemy, and the group that had been facing the enemy came and bowed and prostrated while the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was standing there. Then they stood up, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ bowed again, and they bowed and prostrated with him. Then the group that had been facing the enemy came and bowed and prostrated, while the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and those who were with him were sitting. Then the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said the Taslîm and they all said the Taslîm. So the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ had prayed two Rak'ahs and each of the two groups had prayed two Rak'ahs." (Hasan)
