أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی عَنْ أَشْعَثَ عَنْ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِي بَکْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ صَلَّی صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ فَصَلَّی بِالَّذِينَ خَلْفَهُ رَکْعَتَيْنِ وَبِالَّذِينَ جَائُوا رَکْعَتَيْنِ فَکَانَتْ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْبَعًا وَلِهَؤُلَائِ رَکْعَتَيْنِ رَکْعَتَيْنِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 840
It was narrated from Abu Bakrah that the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم offered the fear prayer (Al-Khawf). He led those who were behind him in two Rak’ahs and those who came (after them) in two Rak’ahs, so the Prophet prayed four Rak’ahs and each group prayed two. (Da’if)
