وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ
نَافِعٍ ، أَنَّ
عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ " كَانَ إِذَا سُئِلَ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْخَوْفِ ، قَالَ :
" يَتَقَدَّمُ الْإِمَامُ وَطَائِفَةٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ ، فَيُصَلِّي بِهِمُ الْإِمَامُ رَكْعَةً وَتَكُونُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْعَدُوِّ لَمْ يُصَلُّوا ، فَإِذَا صَلَّى الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ رَكْعَةً اسْتَأْخَرُوا مَكَانَ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُصَلُّوا وَلَا يُسَلِّمُونَ ، وَيَتَقَدَّمُ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُصَلُّوا ، فَيُصَلُّونَ مَعَهُ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفُ الْإِمَامُ وَقَدْ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، فَتَقُومُ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنَ الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ فَيُصَلُّونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ رَكْعَةً رَكْعَةً بَعْدَ أَنْ يَنْصَرِفَ الْإِمَامُ ، فَيَكُونُ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنَ الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ قَدْ صَلَّوْا رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، فَإِنْ كَانَ خَوْفًا هُوَ أَشَدَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ صَلَّوْا رِجَالًا قِيَامًا عَلَى أَقْدَامِهِمْ ، أَوْ رُكْبَانًا مُسْتَقْبِلِي الْقِبْلَةِ أَوْ غَيْرَ مُسْتَقْبِلِيهَا " . ¤قَالَ مَالِك : قَالَ نَافِعٌ : لَا أَرَى عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَهُ إِلَّا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
It is narrated from Nafi‘ that when Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) was asked about the prayer of fear (Salat al-Khawf), he would say: The imam should step forward to lead the prayer, and some people should be behind him, while some people should face the enemy. When those who are behind the imam have completed one rak‘ah with him, they should go to face the enemy and should not say salam (to end the prayer), and those who have not yet started the prayer should come and perform one rak‘ah behind the imam. Then the imam should say salam, and each group should come in turn and complete one more rak‘ah, so that each group completes two rak‘ahs. And if the fear is very severe, then those on foot should pray standing and by gesture, and those mounted should pray on their mounts, even if their faces are not towards the qiblah.
Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Nafi‘ said that Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) must have heard this hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
