حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ صَحِبْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ فِي طَرِيقٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَصَلَّى بِنَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرَأَى نَاسًا قِيَامًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا يَصْنَعُ هَؤُلَاءِ ؟ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ يُسَبِّحُونَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَوْ كُنْتُ مُسَبِّحًا أَتْمَمْتُ صَلَاتِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَا ابْنَ أَخِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنِّي صَحِبْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي السَّفَرِ فَلَمْ يَزِدْ عَلَى رَكْعَتَيْنِ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَصَحِبْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلَمْ يَزِدْ عَلَى رَكْعَتَيْنِ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَصَحِبْتُ عُمَرَ فَلَمْ يَزِدْ عَلَى رَكْعَتَيْنِ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَصَحِبْتُ عُثْمَانَ فَلَمْ يَزِدْ عَلَى رَكْعَتَيْنِ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَدْ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ:‏‏‏‏ لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ سورة الأحزاب آية 21.

I accompanied Ibn Umar رضی اللہ عنہما on the way (on a journey). He led us in two rak'ah's of (the noon) prayer. Then he proceeded and saw some people standing. He asked: What are they doing ? I replied: They are glorifying Allah (i.e. offering supererogatory prayer). He said: If I had offered the supererogatory prayer (while travelling), I would have completed prayer, my cousin. I accompanied the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم during the journey, he did not pray more than two raka'at until his death. I also accompanied Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ , and he prayed two raka'at and nothing more until he died. I also accompanied Umar رضی اللہ عنہ , and he prayed two raka'at and nothing more until he died. I also accompanied Uthman رضی اللہ عنہ , and he prayed two raka'at and nothing more until he died. Indeed Allah, the Exalted, said: Certainly you have in the Messenger of Allah an excellent exemplar.

When Ali رضی اللہ عنہ travelled, he continued to travel till it became nearly dark. He then alighted and offered the sunset prayer. Then he would call for his dinner and eat it. Then he prayed the night prayer and then moved off. He would say: This is how the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم used to do. Usamah Ibn Zayd reported from Hafs Ibn Ubaydullah, the son of Anas Ibn Malik رضی اللہ عنہ : Anas رضی اللہ عنہ would combine them (the evening and night prayer) when the twilight disappeared. He said: The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم used to do so. Az-Zuhri also reported similarly on the authority of Anas رضی اللہ عنہ from the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم.

We accompanied the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم at Usfan, and Khalid bin al-Walid was the chief of unbelievers. We offered the noon prayer. Thereupon, the unbelievers said: We suffered from negligence; we became careless. We should have attacked them while they were praying. Thereupon the verse was revealed, relating to the shortening of the prayer (in time of danger) between the noon and afternoon (prayer). When the time of the afternoon prayer came, the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم stood facing the qiblah, and the unbelievers were standing in front of him. The people stood in a row behind the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and there was another row behind this row. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم bowed and all of them bowed. He then prostrated and also the row near him prostrated. The other people in the second row remained standing and stood guard over them. When they performed two prostrations and stood up, those who were behind them prostrated. The people in the front row near him then stepped backward taking the place of the people in the second row and the second row took the place of the first row. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then bowed and all of them bowed together. Then he and the row near him prostrated themselves. The other people in the second row remained standing and stood guard over them. When the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and the row near him (i.e. the front row) were seated, the people in the second row behind them prostrated themselves. Then all of them were seated. (He (the Prophet) then uttered the salutation upon all of them. He prayed in his manner at Usfan as well as at the territory of Banu Sulaym. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by Ayyub and Hisham from Abu al-Zubair on the authority of Jabir to the same effect from the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. Similarly, this has been transmitted by Dawud bin Husain from Ikrimah, on the authority of Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما . This has also been reported by Abdul-Malik, from Ata from Jabir in like manner. This has also been narrated by Qatadah from al-Hasan from Hittan on the authority of Abu Musa in a similar way. Similarly, this has been reported by Ikrimah bin Khalid from Mujahid from the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. This has also been reported by Hisham bin Urwah from his father from the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. This is the opinion of al-Thawri.

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 صلى الله عليه وسلم صَلَّى بِأَصْحَابِهِ فِي خَوْفٍ فَجَعَلَهُمْ خَلْفَهُ صَفَّيْنِ فَصَلَّى بِالَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ قَامَ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ قَائِمًا حَتَّى صَلَّى الَّذِينَ خَلْفَهُمْ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمُوا وَتَأَخَّرَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا قُدَّامَهُمْ فَصَلَّى بِهِمُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ قَعَدَ حَتَّى صَلَّى الَّذِينَ تَخَلَّفُوا رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ‏.‏

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.

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ خَوَّاتٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، أَنَّ سَهْلَ بْنَ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ الأَنْصَارِيَّ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ صَلاَةَ الْخَوْفِ أَنْ يَقُومَ الإِمَامُ وَطَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ وَطَائِفَةٌ مُوَاجِهَةَ الْعَدُوِّ فَيَرْكَعُ الإِمَامُ رَكْعَةً وَيَسْجُدُ بِالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَإِذَا اسْتَوَى قَائِمًا ثَبَتَ قَائِمًا وَأَتَمُّوا لأَنْفُسِهِمُ الرَّكْعَةَ الْبَاقِيَةَ ثُمَّ سَلَّمُوا وَانْصَرَفُوا وَالإِمَامُ قَائِمٌ فَكَانُوا وِجَاهَ الْعَدُوِّ ثُمَّ يُقْبِلُ الآخَرُونَ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُصَلُّوا فَيُكَبِّرُونَ وَرَاءَ الإِمَامِ فَيَرْكَعُ بِهِمْ وَيَسْجُدُ بِهِمْ ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمُ فَيَقُومُونَ فَيَرْكَعُونَ لأَنْفُسِهِمُ الرَّكْعَةَ الْبَاقِيَةَ ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمُونَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَأَمَّا رِوَايَةُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ نَحْوُ رِوَايَةِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رُومَانَ إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ خَالَفَهُ فِي السَّلاَمِ وَرِوَايَةُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ نَحْوُ رِوَايَةِ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ وَيَثْبُتُ قَائِمًا ‏.‏

The prayer time of danger should be offered in the following way: The imam should stand (for prayer) and a section of the people should stand along with him. The other section should stand facing the enemy. The imam should perform bowing and prostrate himself along with those who are with him. He then should stand (after prostration) and, when he stands straight, he should remain standing. They (the people) should (in the meantime) complete their remaining rak'ah (i.e. the second one). They they should utter the salutation, and turn away while the imam should remain standing. They should go before the enemy. Thereafter those who did not pray should come forward and utter the takbir (Allah is most great) behind imam. He should bow and prostrate along with them and utter the salutation. Then they should stand and completed their remaining rak'ah, and utter the salutation. Abu Dawud said: The tradition reported by Yahya bin Sa'id from al-Qasim is similar to the one transmitted by Yazid bin Ruman except that he differed with him in salutation. The tradition reported by 'Ubaidullah is like the one reported by Yahya bin Sa'id, saying: He (the Prophet) remained standing.

Did you pray in time of danger with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)? Abu Hurairah replied: Yes. Marwan then asked: When? Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ said: On the occasion of the Battle of Najd. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up to offer the afternoon prayer. One section stood with him (to pray) and the other was standing before the enemy, and their backs were towards the qiblah. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) uttered the takbir and all of them too uttered the takbir, i.e. those who were with him and those who were facing the enemy. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) offered one rak'ah and the section that was with him also prayed one rak'ah. He then prostrated himself and those who were with him also prostrated, while the other section was standing before the enemy. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then stood up and the section with him also stood up. They went and faced the enemy and the section that was previously facing the enemy stepped forward. They bowed and prostrated while the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was standing in the same position. Then they stood up and the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon) prayed another rak'ah and all of them bowed and prostrated along with him. After that the section that was standing before the enemy came forward and they bowed and prostrated, while the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) remained seated and also those who were with him. The salutation then followed. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) uttered the salutation and all of them uttered it together. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed two rak'ahs and each of the two sections prayed one rak'ah with him (and the other by themselves).

We went out with the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم to Najd. When we reached Dhat ar-Riqa at Nakhl (or in a valley with palm trees) he met a group of the tribe of Ghatafan. The narrator then reported the tradition to the same effect, but his version is other than that of Haywah. He added to the words when he bowed along with those who were with him and prostrated the words when they stood up, they retraced their footsteps to the rows of their companions . He did not mention the words their back was towards the qiblah .

She رضی اللہ عنہا said: The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم uttered the takbir and the section that was in the same row with him also uttered the takbir. He then bowed and they also bowed, and he prostrated and they also prostrated. Then he raised his head and they also raised (their heads). The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then remained seated. They prostrated alone and stood up and retraced their footsteps and stood behind them. Then the other section came; they stood up and uttered the takbir and bowed by themselves. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم prostrated himself and they also prostrated with him. Then the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم stood up and they performed the second prostration by themselves. Then both the sections stood up and prayed with the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم . He bowed and they also bowed, and then he prostrated himself and they also prostrated themselves. Then he returned and performed the second prostration and they also prostrated with him as quickly as possible, showing no slackness in quick prostration. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then uttered the salutation. After that the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم stood up. Thus everyone participated in the entire prayer.

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَالِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى بِإِحْدَى الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ رَكْعَةً وَالطَّائِفَةُ الْأُخْرَى مُوَاجِهَةُ الْعَدُوِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا فَقَامُوا فِي مَقَامِ أُولَئِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً أُخْرَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَامَ هَؤُلَاءِ فَقَضَوْا رَكْعَتَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَامَ هَؤُلَاءِ فَقَضَوْا رَكْعَتَهُمْ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ نَافِعٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَخَالِدُ بْنُ مَعْدَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكَذَلِكَ قَوْلُ مَسْرُوقٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيُوسُفُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَى يُونُسُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْحَسَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ فَعَلَهُ.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم led one section in one rak'ah of prayer and the other section was facing the enemy. Then they turned away and took the position of the other section. They (the other section) came and he (the Prophet) led them in the second rak'ah. He then uttered the salutation. Thereafter they stood up and completed the remaining rak'ah, they went away and the other section completed their remaining rak'ah. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by Nafi and Khalid bin Madan from Ibn Umar in like manner from the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. This has also been transmitted similarly by Masruq ad Yusuf bin Mihran on the authority of Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما . This has been narrated by Yunus from al-Hasan from Abu Musa something similarly, saying that Abu Musa رضی اللہ عنہ has done so.

حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا خُصَيْفٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَامُوا صَفَّيْنِ صَفٌّ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَصَفٌّ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْعَدُوِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَكْعَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ جَاءَ الْآخَرُونَ فَقَامُوا مَقَامَهُمْ وَاسْتَقْبَلَ هَؤُلَاءِ الْعَدُوَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَصَلَّى بِهِمُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَكْعَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ فَقَامَ هَؤُلَاءِ فَصَلَّوْا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ رَكْعَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ سَلَّمُوا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ ذَهَبُوا فَقَامُوا مَقَامَ أُولَئِكَ مُسْتَقْبِلِي الْعَدُوِّ وَرَجَعَ أُولَئِكَ إِلَى مَقَامِهِمْ فَصَلَّوْا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ رَكْعَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ سَلَّمُوا .

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم led us in prayer in the time of danger. They (the people) stood in two rows. One row was behind the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and the other faced the enemy. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم led them in one rak'ah, and then the other section came and took their place; they went and faced the enemy. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم 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.

حَدَّثَنَا تَمِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْتَصِرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ يُوسُفَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ شَرِيكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ خُصَيْفٍ بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَمَعْنَاهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَكَبَّرَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكَبَّرَ الصَّفَّانِ جَمِيعًا . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ رَوَاهُ الثَّوْرِيُّ بِهَذَا الْمَعْنَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عنْ خُصَيْفٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَصَلَّى عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَمُرَةَ هَكَذَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِلَّا أَنَّ الطَّائِفَةَ الَّتِي صَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ مَضَوْا إِلَى مَقَامِ أَصْحَابِهِمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَجَاءَ هَؤُلَاءِ فَصَلَّوْا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ رَكْعَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا إِلَى مَقَامِ أُولَئِكَ فَصَلَّوْا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ رَكْعَةً . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا بِذَلِكَ مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُمْ غَزَوْا مَعَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ كَابُلَ فَصَلَّى بِنَا صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ.

The Prophet of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم uttered takbir and both rows uttered takbir together. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by al-Thawri to the same effect on the authority of Khusaif. Abdur-Rahman bin Samurah also prayed in like manner. But the section which he (the Prophet) led in one rak'ah and then uttered the salutation and went and took the place of their companions. They came and prayed one rak'ah by themselves. Then they returned to their place and they prayed (one rak'ah) by themselves. Abu Dawud said: Muslim bin Ibrahim reported from Abd al-Samad bin Habib on the authority of his father that they had fought a battle at Kabul along with Abdur-Rahman bin Samurah. He led us in prayer in time of danger.

We accompanied Saad Ibn al-As at Tabaristan. He stood and said: Which of you prayed along with the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم in time of danger? Hudhayfah رضی اللہ عنہ said: I then he led one section in one rak'ah and the other section in one rak'ah. They did not pray the second rak'ah by themselves. Abu Dawud: This tradition has been transmitted by Ubaid Allah bin Abdullah and Mujahid on the authority of Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما from the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم in like manner. This has also been narrated by Abdullah bin Shaqiq from Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ from the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. Yazid al-Faqir and Abu Musa also narrated this tradition from Jabir رضی اللہ عنہ from the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. Some of the narrators said in the version narrated by Yazid al-Faqir that they completed their second rak'ah. This has also been narrated by Simak al-Hanafi on the authority of Ibn Umar رضی اللہ عنہ from the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم something similar. Zaid bin Thabit also narrated from the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم in like manner. This version adds: The people prayed on rak'ah and the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم prayed two rak'ahs.
