I asked Az-Zuhri, “Did the Prophet ever offer the Fear Prayer?” Az-Zuhri said, “I was told by Salim
that ‘Abdullah bin Umar I had said, ‘I took part in a holy battle with Allah’s Apostle I in Najd. We
faced the enemy and arranged ourselves in rows. Then Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) stood up to lead the
prayer and one party stood to pray with him while the other faced the enemy. Allah’s Apostle
(p.b.u.h) and the former party bowed and performed two prostrations. Then that party left and took
the place of those who had not prayed. Allah’s Apostle prayed one Raka (with the latter) and per –
formed two prostrations and finished his prayer with Taslim. Then everyone of them bowed once
and performed two prostrations individually.’ “

Narrated Ibn Abbas:
Once the Prophet (p.b.u.h) led the fear prayer and the people stood behind him. He said Takbir
(Allahu-Akbar) and the people said the same. He bowed and some of them bowed. Then he pros –
trated and they also prostrated. Then he stood for the second Raka and those who had prayed the
first Raka left and guarded their brothers. The second party joined him and performed bowing and
prostration with him. All the people were in prayer but they were guarding one another during the
prayer.
