Muhammad ibn Bashshar told us: Yahya ibn Said al-Qattan told us: Yahya ibn Said al-Ansari told us, from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, from Salih ibn Khawwat ibn Jubayr, from Sahl ibn Abi Hathmah, who described the fear prayer: The imam stands facing the qiblah, and one group stands with him while another group faces the enemy. He leads the first group in one unit; they then complete a unit and two prostrations on their own in their positions. Then they go to the position of the other group, and that group comes. He leads them in one unit and two prostrations. Thus the imam has prayed two units, while each group has prayed one with him. Then they each pray another unit and perform two prostrations.
