Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates: We participated in a battle against the group of the Juhaina tribe along with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). They fought with extreme intensity. When we were about to perform the Zuhr prayer, they said: If we attack them just once, we will finish them off. Sayyiduna Jibreel (peace be upon him) informed the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about this. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) mentioned this matter to us. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Those people are saying, between us and them is this prayer, which is more beloved to them than anything else. When the time for prayer came, we formed two rows. The polytheists were between us and the Qiblah. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said the takbeer, and we also said the takbeer following him. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went into ruku‘, and we also went into ruku‘ with him. When he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) performed sajdah, the first row performed sajdah with him. When he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stood up, the second row performed sajdah. Then they moved forward and stood in the place of the first row, and the people of the first row moved back. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said the takbeer, and we also said the takbeer with him. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went into ruku‘, and we also went into ruku‘ with him. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) performed sajdah, the people of the first row performed sajdah with him, then he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sat down, then the people of the second row performed sajdah, then all of them sat down, and then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ended the prayer with salam along with all of them. (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The narrator named Abu Zubair has transmitted these words. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Just as your leaders perform the prayer.
