حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَيَّاشٍ الزُّرَقِيِّ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِعُسْفَانَ ، وَعَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، فَصَلَّيْنَا الظُّهْرَ ، فَقَالَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ : لَقَدْ أَصَبْنَا غِرَّةً ، لَقَدْ أَصَبْنَا غَفْلَةً ، لَوْ كُنَّا حَمَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ وَهُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ ، فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْقَصْرِ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ ، فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتِ الْعَصْرُ " قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ ، وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ أَمَامَهُ فَصَفَّ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَفٌّ ، وَصَفَّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الصَّفِّ صَفٌّ آخَرُ ، فَرَكَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَرَكَعُوا جَمِيعًا ، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ وَسَجَدَ الصَّفُّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُ ، وَقَامَ الْآخَرُونَ يَحْرُسُونَهُمْ ، فَلَمَّا صَلَّى هَؤُلَاءِ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ وَقَامُوا سَجَدَ الْآخَرُونَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا خَلْفَهُمْ ، ثُمَّ تَأَخَّرَ الصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ إِلَى مَقَامِ الْآخَرِينَ ، وَتَقَدَّمَ الصَّفُّ الْأَخِيرُ إِلَى مَقَامِ الصَّفِّ الْأَوَّلِ ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَرَكَعُوا جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ سَجَدَ وَسَجَدَ الصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ وَقَامَ الْآخَرُونَ يَحْرُسُونَهُمْ ، فَلَمَّا جَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ سَجَدَ الْآخَرُونَ ، ثُمَّ جَلَسُوا جَمِيعًا ، فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ جَمِيعًا ، فَصَلَّاهَا بِعُسْفَانَ ، وَصَلَّاهَا يَوْمَ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : رَوَى أَيُّوبُ ، وَهِشَامٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، هَذَا الْمَعْنَى ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ دَاوُدُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، وَكَذَلِكَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، وَكَذَلِكَقَتَادَةُ ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ حِطَّانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى فِعْلَهُ ، وَكَذَلِكَ عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَكَذَلِكَ هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الثَّوْرِيِّ .
Narrated Abu Ayyash az-Zuraqi: We accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at Usfan, and Khalid ibn al-Walid was the chief of unbelievers. We offered the noon prayer. Thereupon, the unbelievers said: We suffered from negligence; we became careless. We should have attacked them while they were praying. Thereupon the verse was revealed, relating to the shortening of the prayer (in time of danger) between the noon and afternoon (prayer). When the time of the afternoon prayer came, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood facing the qiblah, and the unbelievers were standing in front of him. The people stood in a row behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and there was another row behind this row. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ bowed and all of them bowed. He then prostrated and also the row near him prostrated. The other people in the second row remained standing and stood guard over them. When they performed two prostrations and stood up, those who were behind them prostrated. The people in the front row near him then stepped backward taking the place of the people in the second row and the second row took the place of the first row. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then bowed and all of them bowed together. Then he and the row near him prostrated themselves. The other people in the second row remained standing and stood guard over them. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the row near him (i. e. the front row) were seated, the people in the second row behind them prostrated themselves. Then all of them were seated. (He (the Prophet) then uttered the salutation upon all of them. He prayed in his manner at Usfan as well as at the territory of Banu Sulaym. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by Ayyub and Hisham from Abu al-Zubair on the authority of Jabir to the same effect from the Prophet ﷺ. Similarly, this has been transmitted by Dawud bin Husain from Ikrimah, on the authority of Ibn Abbas. This has also been reported by Abd al-Malik, from Ata from Jabir in like manner. This has also been narrated by Qatadah from al-Hasan from Hittan on the authority of Abu Musa in a similar way. Similarly, this has been reported by Ikrimah bin Khalid from Mujahid from the Prophet ﷺ. This has also been reported by Hisham bin Urwah from his father from the Prophet ﷺ. This is the opinion of al-Thawri.

Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
1236. Commentary:
➊ Prayer (salah) is such an obligation that it is not excused even during warfare.
➋ In such circumstances, even extensive actions during prayer are permissible and required; this does not affect the validity of the prayer.
➌ Among the various methods of the prayer of fear (salat al-khawf), this is one method; the imam and the combatants should adopt whichever method is suitable to the situation.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
1551. Commentary: This narration differs from the previous narration in that, in the previous one, those in the back row would perform their prostrations (sujood) in their own place and then come forward to the front row, whereas in this narration, those in the back row came to the front row and completed their prostrations there. If this is not a misunderstanding on the part of the narrator, then this would constitute another form of the prayer of fear (salat al-khawf). And Allah knows best.
