أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ خَوَّاتٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّی بِهِمْ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ فَصَفَّ صَفًّا خَلْفَهُ وَصَفًّا مُصَافُّو الْعَدُوِّ فَصَلَّی بِهِمْ رَکْعَةً ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ هَؤُلَائِ وَجَائَ أُولَئِکَ فَصَلَّی بِهِمْ رَکْعَةً ثُمَّ قَامُوا فَقَضَوْا رَکْعَةً رَکْعَةً
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1541
It was narrated from Salih bin Khawwat, from Sahl bin Abi Hathmah that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم led them in offering the fear prayer. Some formed a row behind him and some formed a row facing the enemy. He led them in praying one Rak’ah, then they moved away and the others came, and he led them in praying one Rak’ah, then they got up and each (group) made up the other Rak’ah. (Sahih)
