Sunan Abi Dawud 1240

Translation

Did you pray in time of danger with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? AbuHurayrah replied: Yes. Marwan then asked: When? AbuHurayrah said: On the occasion of the Battle of Najd. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up to offer the afternoon prayer. One section stood with him (to pray) and the other was standing before the enemy, and their backs were towards the qiblah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ uttered the takbir and all of them too uttered the takbir, i.e. those who were with him and those who were facing the enemy. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered one rak'ah and the section that was with him also prayed one rak'ah. He then prostrated himself and those who were with him also prostrated, while the other section was standing before the enemy. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then stood up and the section with him also stood up. They went and faced the enemy and the section that was previously facing the enemy stepped forward. They bowed and prostrated while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was standing in the same position. Then they stood up and the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon) prayed another rak'ah and all of them bowed and prostrated along with him. After that the section that was standing before the enemy came forward and they bowed and prostrated, while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained seated and also those who were with him. The salutation then followed. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ uttered the salutation and all of them uttered it together. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed two rak'ahs and each of the two sections prayed one rak'ah with him (and the other by themselves).

  سئل عن حديث عروة عن أبي هريرة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في صلاة الخوف وكيف صلاتهم فقال اختلف فيه على عروة فرواه محمد بن جعفر بن الزبير عن عروة عن أبي هريرة قاله يونس بن بكير عن محمد بن إسحاق عن محمد بن جعفر بن الزبير وخالفه أبو الأسود محمد بن عبد الرحمن فرواه عن عروة عن مروان بن الحكم عن أبي هريرة وهو الأشبه بالصواب وقيل عن أبي الأسود عن عروة عن أبي هريرة أن مروان سأل أبا هريرة وقيل عن محمد بن إسحاق عن محمد بن جعفر بن الزبير عن عروة عن عائشة رضي الله عنها

  machine translationHe was asked about the hadith of ʿUrwah from Abū Hurayrah from the Prophet ﷺ concerning the fear prayer and how they prayed. He said: There is disagreement about it on the authority of ʿUrwah. Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar b. al-Zubayr narrated it from ʿUrwah from Abū Hurayrah; Yūnus b. Bukayr said it from Muḥammad b. Isḥāq from Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar b. al-Zubayr. Abū al-Aswad Muḥammad b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān contradicted him, narrating it from ʿUrwah from Marwān b. al-Ḥakam from Abū Hurayrah, and that is the closer to correct. It was also said, from Abū al-Aswad from ʿUrwah from Abū Hurayrah, that Marwān asked Abū Hurayrah. And it was said, from Muḥammad b. Isḥāq from Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar b. al-Zubayr from ʿUrwah from ʿĀʾishah, may God be pleased with her. Report a problem
