It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once, on the occasion of the Battle of Dhat, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led the people in the prayer of fear (Salat al-Khawf) in such a way that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) divided the people into two groups. One group formed rows behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the other group went and stood facing the enemy. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said the takbir, and those who were standing behind also said the takbir. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ruku, and they also performed ruku. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed sajdah, and they also performed sajdah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head, and they also raised their heads. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) paused for a while, and the followers performed the second sajdah by themselves, then stood up and, walking backwards on their heels, went and stood in the place of the first group, and that group came and formed rows behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). They said the takbir and performed ruku by themselves. Then when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the second sajdah, they also performed sajdah with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up for the second rak'ah, and they performed the second sajdah by themselves. After this, both groups together formed rows behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ruku with them. Then all performed sajdah together, raised their heads together, and in each of these actions, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed them quickly and did not fall short in making them as brief as possible. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said salam, and the people also said salam, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up. In this way, all the people participated in the complete prayer with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
