أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو صَالِحِ بْنُ أَبِي طَاهِرٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، أَنْبَأَ جَدِّي يَحْيَى بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الْقَاضِي، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، ثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ التَّمِيمِيُّ، أَنْبَأَ عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ:
شَهِدْتُ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَفَفْنَا خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ صَفَّيْنِ، وَكَانَ الْعَدُوُّ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ، فَكَبَّرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَكَبَّرْنَا جَمِيعًا، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ وَرَكَعْنَا جَمِيعًا، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ وَرَفَعْنَا جَمِيعًا، ثُمَّ انْحَدَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِالسُّجُودِ وَالصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ، وَقَامَ الصَّفُّ الْمُؤَخَّرُ فِي نَحْرِ الْعَدُوِّ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ السُّجُودَ وَالصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ وَقَامُوا انْحَدَرَ الصَّفُّ الْمُؤَخَّرُ بِالسُّجُودِ، فَلَمَّا قَضَوْا سُجُودَهُمْ وَقَامُوا تَقَدَّمَ الصَّفُّ الْمُؤَخَّرُ وَتَأَخَّرَ الصَّفُّ الْمُقَدَّمُ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ وَرَكَعْنَا جَمِيعًا، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ وَرَفَعْنَا جَمِيعًا، ثُمَّ انْحَدَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِالسُّجُودِ وَالصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ الْمُقَدَّمُ الَّذِي كَانَ مُؤَخَّرًا فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى، فَلَمَّا قَضَى السُّجُودَ وَالصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ انْحَدَرَ الصَّفُّ الْمُؤَخَّرُ بِالسُّجُودِ فَسَجَدُوا، قَالَ جَابِرٌ: كَمَا يَصْنَعُ حَرَسُكُمْ هَؤُلَاءِ بِأُمَرَائِهِمْ

I witnessed the fear prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We formed two rows behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the enemy was between us and the qiblah. The Prophet ﷺ said the takbīr and we all said the takbīr; then he bowed and we all bowed; then he rose and we all rose. Then the Prophet ﷺ went down to prostrate, together with the row that was next to him, while the rear row stood facing the enemy. When the Prophet ﷺ had finished the prostration, together with the row next to him, and they stood up, the rear row went down to prostrate. When they had finished their prostration and stood up, the rear row moved forward and the front row moved back. Then he bowed and we all bowed; then he rose and we all rose. Then the Prophet ﷺ went down to prostrate, together with the row next to him, which was the front row, that had been the rear row in the first rakʿah. When he had finished the prostration, together with the row next to him, the rear row went down to prostrate, and they prostrated. Jābir said: Just as these guards of yours do with their commanders.
