Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 9043 — Prayer at the time of being killed

Muhammad (Ibn Sirin) said: When Hujr bin Adi was brought to Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: "Peace be upon you, O Commander of the Believers!" Mu'awiyah said: "Am I the Commander of the Believers?" He said: "Yes." Mu'awiyah said: "Even so, I will kill you." Then he ordered that Hujr bin Adi be killed. Hujr said: "Allow me to pray two rak'ahs." When he was allowed, he prayed two short rak'ahs, then said: "Do not think of me that I shortened the prayer out of any fear; rather, I disliked prolonging the prayer in front of you." Then he was killed.
