Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 9042 — Prayer at the time of being killed

Sayyiduna al-Harith bin Barsa' (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Sayyiduna Khubayb (may Allah be pleased with him) was brought and sold in Makkah. The idolaters took him out of the Sacred Precinct (Haram) to kill him, and he said: "Let me pray two rak'ahs." The idolaters allowed him, so he prayed two rak'ahs. Then he said: "Were I not afraid that you would say I prolonged my prayer out of fear of death, I would have prayed even longer."
