Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَحْيَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ صَاعِقَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ وَمَالِكٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ خَوَّاتٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «فِي صَلَاةِ الْخَوْفِ تَقُومُ طَائِفَةٌ وَرَاءَ الْإِمَامِ وَطَائِفَةٌ خَلْفَهُ فَيُصَلِّي بِالَّذِينَ خَلْفَهُ رَكْعَةً وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَقْعُدُ مَكَانَهُ حَتَّى يَقْضُوا رَكْعَةً وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَتَحَوَّلُونَ إِلَى مَكَانِ أَصْحَابِهِمْ ثُمَّ يَتَحَوَّلُ أَصْحَابُهُمْ إِلَى مَكَانِ هَؤُلَاءِ فَيُصَلِّي بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَقْعُدُ مَكَانَهُ حَتَّى يُصَلُّوا رَكْعَةً وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمُ»
English Translation
Sahl ibn Abi Hathmah said regarding the prayer of fear: One group stands behind the Imam and one group behind him (facing the enemy). He prays one rak'ah and two sajdahs (prostrations) with those behind him. Then he sits in his place until they complete one rak'ah and two sajdahs. Then they move to the place of their companions, and their companions move to their place. He prays one rak'ah and two sajdahs with them. Then he sits in his place until they pray one rak'ah and two sajdahs, then he makes tasleem.
