حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ بِإِحْدَى الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ رَكَعَ رَكْعَةً وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ وَالطَّائِفَةُ الْأُخْرَى مُوَاجِهَةُ الْعَدُوِّ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَتْ الطَّائِفَةُ الَّتِي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَقْبَلَتْ الطَّائِفَةُ الْأُخْرَى فَصَلَّى بِهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَكْعَةً وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ قَامَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْ الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ فَرَكَعَ لِنَفْسِهِ رَكْعَةً وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ
English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar (رضي الله عنهما) — via Abu al-Mughira, from al-Awza'i, from Ayyub ibn Musa, from Nafi' — that the Prophet ﷺ performed the Fear Prayer [salat al-khawf] with one of the two groups: he bowed once and prostrated twice [i.e., led them in one rak'a with two prostrations], while the other group faced the enemy. Then the group that was with the Prophet ﷺ departed [to face the enemy], and the other group came. the Prophet ﷺ led them in one rak'a with two prostrations, then gave salam. Then each man from both groups stood up and performed one rak'a with two prostrations on his own.
