أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو حَفْصٍ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ خَوَّاتٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ فِي صَلَاةِ الْخَوْفِ قَالَ يَقُومُ الْإِمَامُ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ وَتَقُومُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ مَعَهُ وَطَائِفَةٌ قِبَلَ الْعَدُوِّ وَوُجُوهُهُمْ إِلَی الْعَدُوِّ فَيَرْکَعُ بِهِمْ رَکْعَةً وَيَرْکَعُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ وَيَسْجُدُونَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ فِي مَکَانِهِمْ وَيَذْهَبُونَ إِلَی مَقَامِ أُولَئِکَ وَيَجِيئُ أُولَئِکَ فَيَرْکَعُ بِهِمْ وَيَسْجُدُ بِهِمْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ فَهِيَ لَهُ ثِنْتَانِ وَلَهُمْ وَاحِدَةٌ ثُمَّ يَرْکَعُونَ رَکْعَةً رَکْعَةً وَيَسْجُدُونَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1558
It was narrated that Sahl bin Abi Hathmah said concerning the fear prayer: “The Imam should stand up facing the Qiblah and some of them should stand with him while the others stand facing the enemy. Then he should pray one Rak’ah with them and they should pray another Rak’ah by themselves, and prostrate twice where they are. Then they should go to where the others are and the others should come and he should lead them in bowing once and prostrating twice, so it will be two Rak’ahs for him and one for them. Then they should bow once and prostrate twice (by themselves, to make up the other Rak’ah).” (Sahih)
