Sahih al-Bukhari 4136 (Book 64, Hadith 180) #3955
Trusting in Allah During Battle

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was in a battle and came across a shady tree. A man from the pagans took his sword and asked if he was afraid of him, to which the Prophet (ﷺ) replied no, as Allah would save him. The Prophet (ﷺ) then offered four rak'at of prayer while the people only offered two rak'at.

(through another group of narrators) Jabir said: "We were in the company of the Prophet (during the battle of) Dhat-ur-Riqa, and we came across a shady tree and we left it for the Prophet (to take rest under its shade). A man from the pagans came while the Prophet's sword was hanging on the tree. He took it out of its sheath secretly and said (to the Prophet ), 'Are you afraid of me?' The Prophet said, 'No'. He said, 'Who can save you from me?' The Prophet said, Allah'. The companions of the Prophet threatened him, then the Iqama for the prayer was announced and the Prophet offered a two rak'at Fear prayer with one of the two batches, and that batch went aside and he offered two rak'a-t with the other batch. So the Prophet offered four rak'at but the people offered two rak'at only". (The subnarrator) Abu Bishr added, "The man was Ghwarath bin Al-Harith and the battle was waged against Muharib Khasafa".
وَقَالَ أَبَانُ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ بِذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ، فَإِذَا أَتَيْنَا عَلَى شَجَرَةٍ ظَلِيلَةٍ تَرَكْنَاهَا لِلنَّبِيِّ ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَسَيْفُ النَّبِيِّ مُعَلَّقٌ بِالشَّجَرَةِ فَاخْتَرَطَهُ فَقَالَ تَخَافُنِي قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ فَمَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي قَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَتَهَدَّدَهُ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ ، وَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَصَلَّى بِطَائِفَةٍ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ تَأَخَّرُوا، وَصَلَّى بِالطَّائِفَةِ الأُخْرَى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، وَكَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ أَرْبَعٌ وَلِلْقَوْمِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ‏.‏ وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ عَنْ أَبِي عَوَانَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ اسْمُ الرَّجُلِ غَوْرَثُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، وَقَاتَلَ فِيهَا مُحَارِبَ خَصَفَةَ‏.‏
