أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمِّي قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنْ ابْنِ إِسْحَقَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي دَاوُدُ بْنُ الْحُصَيْنِ عَنْ عِکْرِمَةَ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ مَا کَانَتْ صَلَاةُ الْخَوْفِ إِلَّا سَجْدَتَيْنِ کَصَلَاةِ أَحْرَاسِکُمْ هَؤُلَائِ الْيَوْمَ خَلْفَ أَئِمَّتِکُمْ هَؤُلَائِ إِلَّا أَنَّهَا کَانَتْ عُقَبًا قَامَتْ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ وَهُمْ جَمِيعًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَسَجَدَتْ مَعَهُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ ثُمَّ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَامُوا مَعَهُ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ رَکَعَ وَرَکَعُوا مَعَهُ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَسَجَدَ مَعَهُ الَّذِينَ کَانُوا قِيَامًا أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ فَلَمَّا جَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالَّذِينَ سَجَدُوا مَعَهُ فِي آخِرِ صَلَاتِهِمْ سَجَدَ الَّذِينَ کَانُوا قِيَامًا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ ثُمَّ جَلَسُوا فَجَمَعَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالتَّسْلِيمِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1540
It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said: “The fear prayer was no more than two prostrations like the prayer of these guards of yours today behind these Imams of yours, except that it was one group after another. One group stood, although they were all behind the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and Olie group prostrated with him, then the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم stood up and they all stood with him. Then he bowed and they all bowed with him, then he prostrated and those who had been standing the first time prostrated with him. When the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and those who had prostrated with him at the end of their prayer sat, those who had been standing prostrated by themselves, then they sat and the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said the Taslim with all of them.” (Hasan)
