Musnad Ahmad 26354

Translation

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led the people in the fear prayer at Dhat al-Riqa' from Nakhl. She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ divided the people into two groups: one group stood in a row behind him, and one group stood facing the enemy. She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said the takbir, and the group that had formed a row behind him said the takbir, then he bowed and they bowed, then he prostrated and they prostrated, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his head and they raised with him. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained sitting, and they prostrated the second prostration by themselves, then they stood and retreated on their heels, walking backwards until they stood behind them. She said: Then the other group came and formed a row behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and they said the takbir, then bowed by themselves, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prostrated his second prostration and they prostrated with him, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood for his second rak'ah, and they prostrated the second prostration by themselves. Then both groups stood together and formed a row behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ bowed with them, so they all bowed, then he prostrated and they all prostrated, then he raised his head and they raised with him. All of that from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was very quick, not failing to lighten as much as he could. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said the salam and they said the salam, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood while the people had shared with him in the entire prayer.
