It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him): "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in the fear prayer (salat al-khawf). The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) divided into two rows; one row stood behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the other row stood facing the enemy. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led the row next to him in one rak'ah; then they stood up and went and took the place of the group guarding in front of the enemy, while that other group came (for the prayer) in their place. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led them in one rak'ah and gave the salam. Then those people stood up and prayed their remaining one rak'ah individually and gave the salam; then they too went to face the enemy, and the first people returned to their place and completed their remaining one rak'ah themselves and then gave the salam."
