حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمِ بْنِ عَبْدٍ السَّلُولِيِّ قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ بِطَبَرِسْتَانَ وَمَعَهُ نَفَرٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: أَيُّكُمْ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ؟ فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ: " أَنَا، فَأْمُرْ أَصْحَابَكَ يَقُومُونَ طَائِفَتَيْنِ، طَائِفَةٌ خَلْفَكَ، وَطَائِفَةٌ بِإِزَاءِ الْعَدُوِّ، فَتُكَبِّرُ وَيُكَبِّرُونَ جَمِيعًا، ثُمَّ تَرْكَعُ فَيَرْكَعُونَ جَمِيعًا، ثُمَّ تَرْفَعُ فَيَرْفَعُونَ جَمِيعًا، ثُمَّ تَسْجُدُ وَيَسْجُدُ مَعَكَ الطَّائِفَةُ الَّتِي تَلِيكَ، وَالطَّائِفَةُ الَّتِي بِإِزَاءِ الْعَدُوِّ قِيَامٌ بِإِزَاءِ الْعَدُوِّ، فَإِذَا رَفَعْتَ رَأْسَكَ مِنَ السُّجُودِ سَجَدُوا (٤) ، ثُمَّ يَتَأَخَّرُ، ، هَؤُلَاءِ وَيَتَقَدَّمُ الْآخَرُونَ، فَقَامُوا فِي مَصَافِّهِمْ، فَتَرْكَعُ فَيَرْكَعُونَ جَمِيعًا، ثُمَّ تَرْفَعُ فَيَرْفَعُونَ جَمِيعًا (١) ثُمَّ تَسْجُدُ فَتَسْجُدُ الطَّائِفَةُ الَّتِي تَلِيكَ، وَالطَّائِفَةُ الْأُخْرَى قَائِمَةٌ بِإِزَاءِ الْعَدُوِّ، فَإِذَا رَفَعْتَ رَأْسَكَ مِنَ السُّجُودِ سَجَدُوا، ثُمَّ سَلَّمْتَ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ، وَتَأْمُرُ أَصْحَابَكَ إِنْ هَاجَهُمْ هَيْجٌ مِنَ الْعَدُوِّ، فَقَدْ حَلَّ لَهُمُ الْقِتَالُ وَالْكَلَامُ " (٢)،

Salim says that once we were with Sa'id bin al-'As in Tabaristan, and some companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) were also with him. They said, "Who among you remembers the method of performing the prayer of fear (Salat al-Khawf) with the Prophet (ﷺ)?" Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I remember. Order your companions to stand in two groups, one of which should stand behind you and the other facing the enemy. Then you say the takbir and they all say the takbir as well. Then you bow (ruku') and they all bow. Then you rise and they all rise. Then you prostrate and the row closest to you should prostrate, while those facing the enemy should remain standing. When you raise your head from prostration, then they should also prostrate. Then the first row should move to the back and the back row should come forward and take their place. Then perform the second rak'ah as you did the first, and all should finish with salam. And tell your companions that if the enemy attacks during the prayer, then fighting and speaking become permissible for them."
