حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رُومَانَ ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ خَوَّاتٍ ، عَمَّنْ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَوْم ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ ، أَنَّ طَائِفَةً صَفَّتْ مَعَهُ وَطَائِفَةً وِجَاهَ الْعَدُوِّ " فَصَلَّى بِالَّتِي مَعَهُ رَكْعَةً ، ثُمَّ ثَبَتَ قَائِمًا ، وَأَتَمُّوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا وَصَفُّوا وِجَاهَ الْعَدُوِّ ، وَجَاءَتِ الطَّائِفَةُ الْأُخْرَى فَصَلَّى بِهِمُ الرَّكْعَةَ الَّتِي بَقِيَتْ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ ، ثُمَّ ثَبَتَ جَالِسًا ، وَأَتَمُّوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ ، ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ بِهِمْ " . قَالَ مَالِكٌ : وَحَدِيثُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رُومَانَ أَحَبُّ مَا سَمِعْتُ إِلَيَّ .
Narrated Salih bin Khawwat: On the authority of a person who offered the prayer in time of danger along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at the battle of Dhat al-Riqa. One section of people stood in the row of prayer along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the other section remained standing in front of the enemy. He led those who were with him in one rak'ah and remained standing (in his place) and they completed (the second rak'ah) by themselves. Then they turned away and arrayed before the enemy. Thereafter the other section came and he led them in the rak'ah which remained from his prayer. He then remained sitting (in his place) and they completed their one rak'ah by themselves. He then uttered the salutation along with them. Malik said: I like the tradition reported by Yazid bin Ruman (i. e. the present tradition) more than (other versions) I heard.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: The first group joined the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) in the opening takbir (takbir al-tahrimah) and participated in the first rak‘ah with him; they performed the second rak‘ah and the salam on their own. The second group joined the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) in his second rak‘ah and in the salam, and performed one rak‘ah on their own. Salih bin Khawat narrated this report from his father, Khawat bin Jubayr (radi Allahu anhu), as clarified by Imam Ibn Mandah, and this is mentioned in Bulugh al-Maram.

1538. Commentary:
➊ This is another form of the prayer of fear (salat al-khawf) in which each group prays two units (rak‘ahs) together—one with you and one separately. This form is preferable in that there will be no coming and going during the prayer; rather, both units will be performed consecutively.
➋ "Dhat al-Riqa‘": "Riqa‘" is the plural of "riq‘ah," which means: a piece (of cloth). This battle is called the Expedition of Dhat al-Riqa‘ either because, while going for this expedition, the Muslims’ feet were wounded due to the stones and they had to tie pieces of cloth on their feet, or because the land of that area consisted of patches of different colors—that is, some hills were red, some white, and some black. And Allah knows best.
