أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَشْعَثُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ زَهْدَمٍ قَالَ کُنَّا مَعَ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِي بِطَبَرِسْتَانَ فَقَالَ أَيُّکُمْ صَلَّی مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ أَنَا فَقَامَ حُذَيْفَةُ فَصَفَّ النَّاسُ خَلْفَهُ صَفَّيْنِ صَفًّا خَلْفَهُ وَصَفًّا مُوَازِيَ الْعَدُوِّ فَصَلَّی بِالَّذِي خَلْفَهُ رَکْعَةً ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ هَؤُلَائِ إِلَی مَکَانِ هَؤُلَائِ وَجَائَ أُولَئِکَ فَصَلَّی بِهِمْ رَکْعَةً وَلَمْ يَقْضُوا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1535
It was narrated Tha’labah bin Zahdam said: “We were with Saeed bin Al-’Asi in Tabaristan and he said: ‘Which of you offered the fear prayer with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم ?‘ Hudhaifah said: ‘I did.’ So Hudhaifah stood and the people formed two rows behind him, one row behind him and one row facing the enemy. He led those who were behind him in praying one Rak’ah, then they went and took the place of the others, and the others came and he led them in praying one Rak’ah, and they did not make it up.” (Sahih)
