(Second chain of narration) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, that he performed the prayer of fear (Salat al-Khawf) with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. (Its details are as follows:) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said Allahu Akbar, and one group from among us formed a row behind him (and began the prayer), while another group turned towards the enemy. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, led one group in one rak‘ah including one bowing (ruku‘) and two prostrations (sujud); this rak‘ah was equal to half of the Fajr prayer. Then these people turned away and stood facing the enemy, and then the second group came and formed a row with the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. He, peace and blessings be upon him, led them in one rak‘ah as he had done with the first group. Then, when he, peace and blessings be upon him, said the salam, every person from both groups stood up and performed one rak‘ah each, including two prostrations, separately.
