أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رُومَانَ ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ خَوَّاتٍ ، عَمَّنْ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ : " أَنَّ طَائِفَةً صَفَّتْ مَعَهُ وَطَائِفَةٌ وِجَاهَ الْعَدُوِّ فَصَلَّى بِالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ رَكْعَةً , ثُمَّ ثَبَتَ قَائِمًا وَأَتَمُّوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا فَصَفُّوا وِجَاهَ الْعَدُوِّ ، وَجَاءَتِ الطَّائِفَةُ الْأُخْرَى فَصَلَّى بِهِمُ الرَّكْعَةَ الَّتِي بَقِيَتْ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ , ثُمَّ ثَبَتَ جَالِسًا وَأَتَمُّوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ بِهِمْ " .
´It was narrated from Salih bin Khawwat from one who had prayed the fear prayer with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on the day of Dhat Ar-Riqa' that:` One group had formed a row behind him and another group faced the enemy. He led those who were with him in praying one rak'ah, then he remained standing and they completed the prayer by themselves. Then they moved away and formed a row facing the enemy, and the other group came and he led them in praying the rak'ah that was left for him, then he remained sitting while they completed the prayer by themselves, then he said the taslim with them.

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
1538. Commentary:
➊ This is another form of the prayer of fear (salat al-khawf) in which each group prays two units (rak‘ahs) together—one with you and one separately. This form is preferable in that there will be no coming and going during the prayer; rather, both units will be performed consecutively.
➋ "Dhat al-Riqa‘": "Riqa‘" is the plural of "riq‘ah," which means: a piece (of cloth). This battle is called the Expedition of Dhat al-Riqa‘ either because, while going for this expedition, the Muslims’ feet were wounded due to the stones and they had to tie pieces of cloth on their feet, or because the land of that area consisted of patches of different colors—that is, some hills were red, some white, and some black. And Allah knows best.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: The first group joined the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) in the opening takbir (takbir al-tahrimah) and participated in the first rak‘ah with him; they performed the second rak‘ah and the salam on their own. The second group joined the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) in his second rak‘ah and in the salam, and performed one rak‘ah on their own. Salih bin Khawat narrated this report from his father, Khawat bin Jubayr (radi Allahu anhu), as clarified by Imam Ibn Mandah, and this is mentioned in Bulugh al-Maram.
