Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Numayr narrated to us, my father narrated to us, Abd al-Malik ibn Abi Sulayman narrated to us, from Ata, from Jabir ibn Abdullah, who said: I witnessed the Prayer of Fear with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. He lined us up in two rows, one row behind the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, while the enemy was between us and the qiblah. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said the takbir, and we all said the takbir. Then he bowed, and we all bowed. Then he raised his head from the bowing, and we all raised our heads. Then he went down for prostration, along with the row immediately behind him, while the rear row stood facing the enemy. When the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, completed the prostration and the row immediately behind him stood up, the rear row went down for prostration and then stood up. Then the rear row advanced and the front row moved back. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, bowed, and we all bowed. Then he raised his head from the bowing, and we all raised our heads. Then he went down for prostration, along with the row immediately behind him, which had been the rear row in the first rak'ah, while the rear row stood facing the enemy. When the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, completed the prostration, and the row immediately behind him [stood], the rear row went down for prostration and prostrated. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, gave the salutation, and we all gave the salutation. Jabir said: Just as your guards do with their commanders.
