Sayyiduna Sahl bin Abi Hathmah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that (in the prayer of fear) the Imam will stand facing the Qiblah and a group of Muslims will join him in prayer, while another group of Muslims will stand facing the enemy. The Imam, facing them, will lead the group with him in one rak‘ah of prayer. (After completing one rak‘ah) this group will stand up and, without the Imam, perform one ruku‘ and two prostrations at the same place, then go and stand facing the enemy where the other group was already present. After that, the Imam will lead the second group in one rak‘ah of prayer, thus completing two rak‘ahs for the Imam, and this second group will perform one ruku‘ and two prostrations by themselves.
