وَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ: حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ،عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: "كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِنَخْلٍ"، فَذَكَرَ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ، قَالَ مَالِكٌ: وَذَلِكَ أَحْسَنُ مَا سَمِعْتُ فِي صَلَاةِ الْخَوْفِ. تَابَعَهُ اللَّيْثُ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ أَنَّ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَهُ صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزْوَةِ بَنِي أَنْمَارٍ.
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 4131
Narrated Sahl bin Abi Hathma: (describing the Fear prayer): The Imam stands up facing the Qibla and one batch of them (i.e. the army) (out of the two) prays along with him and the other batch faces the enemy. The Imam offers one rak`a with the first batch they themselves stand up alone and offer one bowing and two prostrations while they are still in their place, and then go away to relieve the second batch, and the second batch comes (and takes the place of the first batch in the prayer behind the Imam) and he offers the second rak`a with them. So he completes his two-rak`at and then the second batch bows and prostrates two prostrations (i.e. complete their second rak`a and thus all complete their prayer).
