Sayyiduna Abu Ayyash Zurqi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We were present with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) at the place of Usfan. The commander of the polytheists was Khalid bin Walid. The narrator says: We performed the Zuhr prayer. The polytheists said: These people were in such a state that if we wanted, we could have attacked them (the narrator is doubtful, perhaps these are the words:) We could have attacked them in their heedlessness. The narrator says: Between Zuhr and Asr, the verse regarding the command of Qasr prayer was revealed. The people took up their weapons and formed rows behind the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). They made two rows, their faces towards the enemy and the polytheists facing them. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said the Takbir, and all the people said the Takbir. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) bowed in Ruku, and all the people bowed in Ruku. Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head, and all of them raised their heads. Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) performed Sajdah, so the row that was closest to him performed Sajdah, and the other people kept guarding them. When these people finished their Sajdah, then the other people performed Sajdah. Then the row that was closest to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) moved back, and the other people came forward and stood in their place. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) bowed in Ruku, and all the people bowed in Ruku. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head, and all of them raised their heads. Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) performed Sajdah, so the row that was closest to him performed Sajdah, and the other people stood guarding them. When these people finished their Sajdah, then the other people performed Sajdah. Then these people stood straight with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and all of them sat down. Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said Salam along with all of them. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) led this prayer at the place of Usfan. He (peace and blessings be upon him) led this prayer on the day of confrontation with Banu Sulaym.
