أَخْبَرَنِي عِمْرَانُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ، وَأَبِي، أَيُّوبَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم صَلاَةَ الْخَوْفِ قَامَ فَكَبَّرَ فَصَلَّى خَلْفَهُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنَّا وَطَائِفَةٌ مُوَاجِهَةَ الْعَدُوِّ فَرَكَعَ بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَكْعَةً وَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا وَلَمْ يُسَلِّمُوا وَأَقْبَلُوا عَلَى الْعَدُوِّ فَصَفُّوا مَكَانَهُمْ وَجَاءَتِ الطَّائِفَةُ الأُخْرَى فَصَفُّوا خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَقَدْ أَتَمَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعَ سَجَدَاتٍ ثُمَّ قَامَتِ الطَّائِفَتَانِ فَصَلَّى كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْهُمْ لِنَفْسِهِ رَكْعَةً وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ السُّنِّيِّ الزُّهْرِيُّ سَمِعَ مِنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ حَدِيثَيْنِ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ هَذَا مِنْهُ ‏.‏

Translation

‘Imran ibn Bakkar narrated to me; he said: Muhammad ibn al-Mubarak narrated to us; he said: al-Haytham ibn Humayd informed us, from al-‘Ala’ and Abu Ayyub, from al-Zuhri, from ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed the fear prayer. He stood and proclaimed Allah’s greatness. One group of us prayed behind him while another group faced the enemy. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led them in one rak‘ah and two prostrations. Then they moved away without saying the taslim, turned to face the enemy, and took their positions. The other group came and formed a row behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he led them in one rak‘ah and two prostrations. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said the taslim, having completed two rak‘ahs and four prostrations. Then both groups stood, and each person among them prayed one rak‘ah and two prostrations individually. Abu Bakr ibn al-Sunni said: Al-Zuhri heard two hadiths from Ibn ‘Umar, but he did not hear this one from him.
