And the group that had protected against the enemy was lined up in front of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him); they were not behind him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) led them in the prayer of fear. One row stood in front of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and one row stood behind him. So the Prophet (peace be upon him) led those who were standing behind him in one rak'ah with two prostrations. Then these people moved forward and stood in their place, and those (who were in front) came and stood in their place. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) led them in one rak'ah and made them perform two prostrations. Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) said the salam (at the end of tashahhud). In this way, the Prophet (peace be upon him) performed two rak'ahs and each of them performed one rak'ah.
