Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَشْعَثَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ صَلَّى صَلاَةَ الْخَوْفِ فَصَلَّى بِالَّذِينَ خَلْفَهُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَبِالَّذِينَ جَاءُوا رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَكَانَتْ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَرْبَعًا وَلِهَؤُلاَءِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ .
Translation
Amr ibn Ali narrated to us: Yahya narrated to us from Ash‘ath, from Al-Hasan, from Abu Bakrah, from the Prophet ﷺ, that he performed the prayer of fear. He led those who were behind him for two rak‘ahs, then those who came afterward for two rak‘ahs. Thus the Prophet ﷺ prayed four rak‘ahs, while each group prayed two.
