We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at ʿUsfān, and the polytheists were led by Khālid b. al-Walīd. We prayed the Ẓuhr prayer, and the polytheists said: "We have caught them off guard; we have caught them unaware. If only we had attacked them while they were in prayer." So the verse of shortening the prayer was revealed between Ẓuhr and ʿAṣr. When the time of ʿAṣr came, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood facing the qiblah, with the polytheists in front of him. One row formed behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and after that row another row formed. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ bowed, and they all bowed. Then he prostrated, and the row next to him prostrated, while the others stood guarding them. When these had performed the two prostrations and stood up, the others who had been behind them prostrated. Then the row nearest to him moved back to the place of the others, and the last row moved forward to the place of the first row. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ bowed, and they all bowed. Then he prostrated along with the row next to him, while the others stood guarding them. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat, together with the row next to him, the others prostrated. Then they all sat, and he gave the salam to all of them. He prayed it at ʿUsfān, and he prayed it on the day of Banū Sulaym.
