I asked Az-Zuhri, "Did the Prophet (ﷺ) ever offer the Fear Prayer?" Az-Zuhri said, "I was told by Salim that `Abdullah bin `Umar I had said, 'I took part in a holy battle with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) I in Najd. We faced the enemy and arranged ourselves in rows. Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) stood up to lead the prayer and one party stood to pray with him while the other faced the enemy. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) and the former party bowed and performed two prostrations. Then that party left and took the place of those who had not prayed. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) prayed one rak`a (with the latter) and performed two prostrations and finished his prayer with Taslim. Then everyone of them bowed once and performed two prostrations individually.' "

Ibn `Umar said something similar to Mujahid's saying: Whenever (Muslims and non-Muslims) stand face to face in battle, the Muslims can pray while standing. Ibn `Umar added, "The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'If the number of the enemy is greater than the Muslims, they can pray while standing or riding (individually).' "

Chapter 3: To guard one another during the Salat-ul-Khauf

Narrated Ibn `Abbas

Once the Prophet (p.b.u.h) led the fear prayer and the people stood behind him. He said Takbir (Allahu-Akbar) and the people said the same. He bowed and some of them bowed. Then he prostrated and they also prostrated. Then he stood for the second rak`a and those who had prayed the first rak`a left and guarded their brothers. The second party joined him and performed bowing and prostration with him. All the people were in prayer but they were guarding one another during the prayer.

Chapter 4: As-Salat at the time of besieging a fort and at the time of meeting the enemy

And Al -Awazi said that if the conquest was prepared, and they did not appreciate the prayer, they prayed for the prayer. Do you reveal the fighting or they are safe, and they will reach two knees, so if they do not pray, they will pray They and with him said Makhoul . And he said that I attended at the exile The day, so we prayed it and we were with Abu Moses, so he conquered us. Anas said, and what is pleased with that of this worldly prayer and what is in it.

On the day of the Khandaq `Umar came, cursing the disbelievers of Quraish and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have not offered the `Asr prayer and the sun has set." The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "By Allah! I too, have not offered the prayer yet. "The Prophet (ﷺ) then went to Buthan, performed ablution and performed the `Asr prayer after the sun had set and then offered the Maghrib prayer after it."

Chapter 5: The chaser and the chased can offer Salat (prayer) while riding , and by signs

Al-Waleed said I mentioned to Al-Awza'i the prayer of Sharhabil bin Al-Samt and his companions on the back of the dabbah and he said as well as the matter with us if the fear of the foot, and Al-Waleed protested the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): «No one prays the afternoon except in Bani Qurayza».
Narrated Ibn `Umar

When the Prophet (ﷺ) returned from the battle of Al-Ahzab (The confederates), he said to us, "None should offer the 'Asr prayer but at Bani Quraiza." The 'Asr prayer became due for some of them on the way. Some of them decided not to offer the Salat but at Bani Quraiza while others decided to offer the Salat on the spot and said that the intention of the Prophet (ﷺ) was not what the former party had understood. And when that was told to the Prophet (ﷺ) he did not blame anyone of them.
