Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَشْعَثُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ صَلَّى صَلاَةَ الْخَوْفِ بِالَّذِينَ خَلْفَهُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَالَّذِينَ جَاءُوا بَعْدُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَكَانَتْ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ وَلِهَؤُلاَءِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ‏.‏

Translation

‘Amr ibn ‘Ali narrated to us; he said: Yahya ibn Sa‘id narrated to us; he said: al-Ash‘ath narrated to us, from al-Hasan, from Abu Bakrah, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that he prayed the fear prayer with those behind him for two rak‘ahs, then with those who came afterward for two rak‘ahs. Thus, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed four rak‘ahs, and each of those groups prayed two rak‘ahs.
