Sayyiduna Sahl bin Abi Hathmah رضي الله عنه narrates attributing to the Noble Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم: The Imam will stand for prayer, and one row will stand behind him and one row will stand in front of him (i.e., facing the enemy). The Imam will lead those behind him in one rak‘ah including two prostrations, then he will remain standing until these people complete the second rak‘ah by themselves. In one narration it is stated: Then the Imam will sit in his place until they complete the second rak‘ah and two prostrations and go to the place of their companions, and they (the others) come and stand (behind the Imam) in the place of the first ones. Then he will lead them in one rak‘ah including two prostrations, and then he will sit until they complete the second rak‘ah by themselves, then the Imam will say salam upon them.
