Sayyiduna Abu Ayyash Zurqi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We were with the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) at the place of Usfan. The polytheists came before us, their leader was Khalid bin Walid. The polytheists came between us and the Qiblah. The Prophet (peace be upon him) led us in the Zuhr prayer. The polytheists said: "They are now in such a state that if we attack them in their moment of heedlessness (it would be appropriate), the time for their prayer has come, which is more beloved to them than their children and their own lives." Then Jibreel (peace be upon him) came with this verse between Zuhr and Asr: "And when you are among them, then lead them in prayer." When the time for prayer came, by the order of the Prophet (peace be upon him), the people took up their weapons. We formed two rows behind the Prophet (peace be upon him). Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) went into ruku‘, so we all went into ruku‘. Then when he raised his blessed head, we all raised our heads. Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the row closest to him went into prostration, while the people of the other row remained standing and guarded them. When the first row had completed their prostration and stood up, the people of the rear row went into prostration. Then the people of the rear row came forward to the place of the front row, and the front row moved to the place of the rear row. Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) went into ruku‘, so all the people went into ruku‘ with him. Then when he raised his head, all the people raised their heads. Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the row closest to him went into prostration, while the other row remained standing and guarded them. When those people sat down, the people of the other row went into prostration. Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) ended the prayer with salam along with all the people. The narrator says: The Prophet (peace be upon him) led the prayer in this manner twice, once at Usfan and once in the area of Banu Sulaym.
