أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ حَجَّاجِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ الْحَکَمِ عَنْ يَزِيدَ الْفَقِيرِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّی بِهِمْ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ فَقَامَ صَفٌّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَصَفٌّ خَلْفَهُ صَلَّی بِالَّذِينَ خَلْفَهُ رَکْعَةً وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ هَؤُلَائِ حَتَّی قَامُوا فِي مَقَامِ أَصْحَابِهِمْ وَجَائَ أُولَئِکَ فَقَامُوا مَقَامَ هَؤُلَائِ وَصَلَّی بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَکْعَةً وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ فَکَانَتْ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَکْعَتَانِ وَلَهُمْ رَکْعَةٌ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1550
It was narrated from Jabir bin ‘Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم led them in offering the fear prayer. One row stood in front of him and another row stood behind him. He led those who were behind in prayer, bowing once and prostrating twice, then they moved forward until they took the place of their companions, and the others came and took their place, and the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم led them in prayer, bowing once and prostrating twice, then he said the Taslim, so the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم had prayed two Rak’ahs and they had prayed one. (Sahih)
