أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ کَثِيرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ الزُّبَيْدِيِّ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَامَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ فَکَبَّرَ وَکَبَّرُوا ثُمَّ رَکَعَ وَرَکَعَ أُنَاسٌ مِنْهُمْ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ وَسَجَدُوا ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَی الرَّکْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ فَتَأَخَّرَ الَّذِينَ سَجَدُوا مَعَهُ وَحَرَسُوا إِخْوَانَهُمْ وَأَتَتْ الطَّائِفَةُ الْأُخْرَی فَرَکَعُوا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَسَجَدُوا وَالنَّاسُ کُلُّهُمْ فِي صَلَاةٍ يُکَبِّرُونَ وَلَکِنْ يَحْرُسُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1539
It was narrated from ‘Ubaidullah bin ‘Abdullah bin ‘Utbah that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم stood and the people stood with him, and he said the Takbir and they said the Takbir. Then he bowed, and some of them bowed, then he prostrated and they prostrated, then he stood up for the second Rak’ah and those who had prostrated with him moved back and guarded their brothers, and the other group came and bowed and prostrated with the Prophet ,. All the people were praying and saying the Takbir, but they were guarding one another.” (Sahih)
