Salih bin Khawwat (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from the man who offered the prayer of fear with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) on the day of the battle of Dhat al-Riqa’ that one group joined the row with the Prophet (peace be upon him) and another group stood facing the enemy. The Prophet (peace be upon him) led his companions in one rak’ah and then stood straight, so they completed the second rak’ah separately. They then stood in the row facing the enemy, and the other group came. The Prophet (peace be upon him) led them in the remaining rak’ah and then sat straight until they completed the second rak’ah themselves, then the Prophet (peace be upon him) said the salam.
