564. Sālim narrated from his father: "The Prophet ﷺ prayed Ṣalāt Al-Khawf, praying one Rak'ah with one of the two groups, while the other group was facing the enemy. (When the first group finished their first Rak'ah with him), they went and took the position (of the second group, facing the enemy). Then the second group came and he led them in another Rak'ah, then he said the Taslīm to them, while the group proceeded to complete their (second) Rak'ah. Thereafter, the first group stood up to finish their (second) Rak'ah." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
(He said:) There are narrations on this topic from Jābir, Ḥudhaifah, Zaid bin Thābit, Ibn 'Abbās, Abū Hurairah, Ibn Mas'ūd, Sahl bin Abī Ḥathmah, Abū 'Ayyāsh Az-Zurqī - whose name is Zaid bin Ṣāmit - and Abū Bakrah.
Abū 'Eisā said: Mālik bin Anas followed the Hadīth of Sahl bin Abī Ḥathmah about Ṣalāt Al-Khawf, and it is the view of Ash-Shāfi'i.
Ahmad said: "Ṣalāt Al-Khawf has been reported from the Prophet ﷺ in different ways, and I do not know anything but authentic Aḥādīth about this topic." And he preferred the Ḥadīth of Sahl bin Abī Hathmah.
A similar view was expressed by Ishāq bin Ibrāhīm: "The narrations from the Prophet ﷺ about Ṣalāt Al-Khawf are confirmed." He saw that all that was reported from the Prophet ﷺ about Ṣalāt Al-Khawf then it is allowed depending upon the degree of the fear.
Ishāq said: "We do not prefer the Ḥadīth of Sahl bin Abī Hathmah over the other narrations."
The Ḥadīth of Ibn 'Umar is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Ḥadīth, it has been reported similarly by Mūsā bin 'Uqbah from Nāfi', from Ibn 'Umar, from the Prophet ﷺ.

Commentary
Hāfīz Ibn Hajar said: Our Shaikh Abul-Faḍl 'Allamah Ḥusain 'Irāqī quoted seventeen forms of the Prayer of Fear, in Sharḥ At-Tirmidhī, which may be added to each other. Hāfīz Ibn Al-Qayyim principally mentioned six forms, in Zād Al-Ma'ād. However, any form mentioned in the Ḥadīth may be practised.
