Sahih Bukhari Volume 2, Book 14, Hadith Number 64
Narated By Shu’aib: I asked Az-Zuhri, “Did the Prophet ever offer the Fear Prayer?” Az-Zuhri
said, “I was told by Salim that ‘Abdullah bin Umar I had said, ‘I took part in a holy battle with
Allah’s Apostle I in Najd. We faced the enemy and arranged ourselves in rows. Then Allah’s
Apostle (p.b.u.h) stood up to lead the prayer and one party stood to pray with him while the
other faced the enemy. Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) and the former party bowed and performed two
prostrations. Then that party left and took the place of those who had not prayed. Allah’s
Apostle prayed one Raka (with the latter) and performed two prostrations and finished his
prayer with Taslim. Then everyone of them bowed once and performed two prostrations
individually.’”

Sahih Bukhari Volume 2, Book 14, Hadith Number 65
Narated By Nafi’: Ibn Umar said something similar to Mujahid’s saying: Whenever (Muslims
and non-Muslims) stand face to face in battle, the Muslims can pray while standing. Ibn Umar
added, “The Prophet said, ‘If the number of the enemy is greater than the Muslims, they can
pray while standing or riding (individually).’”

Sahih Bukhari Volume 2, Book 14, Hadith Number 66
Narated By Ibn Abbas: Once the Prophet (p.b.u.h) led the fear prayer and the people stood
behind him. He said Takbir (Allahu-Akbar) and the people said the same. He bowed and some
of them bowed. Then he prostrated and they also prostrated. Then he stood for the second
Raka and those who had prayed the first Raka left and guarded their brothers. The second party
joined him and performed bowing and prostration with him. All the people were in prayer but
they were guarding one another during the prayer.

Sahih Bukhari Volume 2, Book 14, Hadith Number 67
Narated By Jabir bin ‘Abdullah: On the day of the Khandaq Umar came, cursing the
disbelievers of Quraish and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I have not offered the ‘Asr prayer and the
sun has set.” The Prophet replied, “By Allah! I too, have not offered the prayer yet. “The Prophet
then went to Buthan, performed ablution and performed the ‘Asr prayer after the sun had set
and then offered the Maghrib prayer after it.”Sahih Bukhari Volume 2, Book 14, Hadith Number 68
Narated By Anas bin Malik: Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) offered the Fajr prayer when it was still
dark, then he rode and said, ‘Allah Akbar! Khaibar is ruined. When we approach near to a
nation, the most unfortunate is the morning of those who have been warned.” The people came
out into the streets saying, “Muhammad and his army.” Allah’s Apostle vanquished them by
force and their warriors were killed; the children and women were taken as captives. Safiya was
taken by Dihya Al-Kalbi and later she belonged to Allah’s Apostle go who married her and her
Mahr was her manumission.
