Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ أَشْعَثَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم صَلَّى بِالْقَوْمِ فِي الْخَوْفِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِالْقَوْمِ الآخَرِينَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ فَصَلَّى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَرْبَعًا ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-A‘la and Isma‘il ibn Mas‘ud narrated to us—the wording is his. They said: Khalid narrated to us, from Ash‘ath, from al-Hasan, from Abu Bakrah, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led one group in the fear prayer for two rak‘ahs, then said the taslim. Then he led the other group in two rak‘ahs, then said the taslim. Thus, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed four rak‘ahs.

Translation notes
  • “The wording is his” identifies Isma‘il ibn Mas‘ud as the source of the phrasing.
