English translation
1548. It was narrated that Jâbir said: "We witnessed the fear prayer with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. We stood behind him in two rows, and the enemy was between us and the Qiblah. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said the Takbîr and we said the Takbîr. He bowed and we bowed, and he stood up again and we stood up. When he went down in prostration, the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and those who were closest to him prostrated, and the second row remained standing until the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and the row closest to him stood up. Then the second row prostrated when the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ had stood up, where they were. Then the row that had been closest to the Prophet ﷺ moved back and the second row moved forward, each standing in the place where the other had been. The Prophet ﷺ bowed and we bowed, then he stood up and we stood up, and when he went down in prostration, those who were closest to him prostrated and the others remained standing. When the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and those who were closest to him sat up, the others prostrated, then he said the Taslîm." (Sahih)
