سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1244
Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in prayer in the time of danger. They (the people) stood in two rows. One row was behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the other faced the enemy. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led them in one rak'ah, and then the other section came and took their place; they went and faced the enemy. The Prophet ﷺ led them in one rak'ah and uttered the salutation. They stood up and prayed the second rak'ah by themselves and uttered the salutation and went away; they took the place of the other section facing the enemy. They came back and took their place. They prayed one rak'ah by themselves and then uttered the salutation.
