حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ خَوَّاتٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّی بِأَصْحَابِهِ فِي خَوْفٍ فَجَعَلَهُمْ خَلْفَهُ صَفَّيْنِ فَصَلَّی بِالَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُ رَکْعَةً ثُمَّ قَامَ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ قَائِمًا حَتَّی صَلَّی الَّذِينَ خَلْفَهُمْ رَکْعَةً ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمُوا وَتَأَخَّرَ الَّذِينَ کَانُوا قُدَّامَهُمْ فَصَلَّی بِهِمْ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَکْعَةً ثُمَّ قَعَدَ حَتَّی صَلَّی الَّذِينَ تَخَلَّفُوا رَکْعَةً ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1237
Narrated Sahl bin Abi Hathmah: The Prophet ﷺ prayed in time of danger and divided them (the people) behind him in two rows. He then led those who were near him in one rak'ah. Then he stood and remained standing till those who were in second row offered one rak'ah. Thereafter they came forward and those who were in front of them (in the first row) stepped backward. The Prophet ﷺ led them in one rak'ah of prayer. He sat down till those who were in the second row completed on rak'ah. He then uttered the salutation.
