Sunan an-Nasai 1543 (Book 18, Hadith 15) #16154
Praying Fear Prayer in Times of War

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) prayed the fear prayer with two groups of people, one group facing the enemy and another group facing the Qiblah.

It was narrated from Marwan bin Al-Hakam that: He asked Abu Hurairah: "Did you offer the fear prayer with the Messenger of Allah ?" Abu Hurairah said: "Yes". He asked: "When?" He said: "In the year of the campaign to Najd. The Messenger of Allah stood up to pray 'Asr and a group stood with him, and another group as facing the enemy, with their backs toward the Qiblah. The Messenger of Allah said the takbir, and they all said the takbir, those who were with him and those who were with him facing the enemy. Then the Messenger of Allah bowed once and the group that was with him bowed, then he and the group that was with him prostrated twice, while the others were standing facing the enemy. Then the Messenger of Allah stood up and the group that was with him stood and went to face the enemy, and the group that had been facing the enemy came and bowed and prostrated while the Messenger of Allah was standing there. Then they stood up, and the Messenger of Allah bowed again, and they bowed and prostrated with him. Then the group that had been facing the enemy came and bowed and prostrated, while the Messenger of Allah and those who were with him were sitting. Then the Messenger of Allah said the taslim and they all said the taslim. So the Messenger of Allah had prayed two rak'ahs and each of the two groups had prayed two rak'ahs".

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how Prophet Muhammad PBUH prayed Salatul Khawf or fear prayer during a time of war. Salatul Khawf is a special type of prayer that Muslims perform when they are in danger or fear for their lives. In this hadith, we learn that the Prophet PBUH divided his companions into two groups; one group faced towards the enemy while another faced towards the qibla. He then said takbir and both groups bowed down and prostrated together. After this was done, he said taslim to end his prayer. This hadith teaches us that even in times of war or danger we should not forget to pray to Allah SWT as it will bring us peace and protection from harm. It also teaches us that no matter what situation we are in, we should always remain united as a community so that our faith can be strengthened through our collective prayers.
