Sahih al-Bukhari 944 (Book 12, Hadith 3) #914
Guarding Each Other During Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet (pbuh) 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. Those who had prayed the first rak'a left and guarded their brothers while those who had not yet prayed joined him in bowing and prostration with him.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: Once the Prophet (pbuh) 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 rak'a and those who had prayed the first rak'a 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.
حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، عَنِ الزُّبَيْدِيِّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ قَامَ النَّبِيُّ وَقَامَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ، فَكَبَّرَ وَكَبَّرُوا مَعَهُ، وَرَكَعَ وَرَكَعَ نَاسٌ مِنْهُمْ، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ وَسَجَدُوا مَعَهُ، ثُمَّ قَامَ لِلثَّانِيَةِ فَقَامَ الَّذِينَ سَجَدُوا وَحَرَسُوا إِخْوَانَهُمْ، وَأَتَتِ الطَّائِفَةُ الأُخْرَى فَرَكَعُوا وَسَجَدُوا مَعَهُ، وَالنَّاسُ كُلُّهُمْ فِي صَلاَةٍ، وَلَكِنْ يَحْرُسُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how to perform salat, or prayer, in a group setting with others present. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ demonstrated how to do this by leading a fear prayer, which is a special type of prayer that is done when there is danger or fear present in an area. He began by saying “Allahu Akbar”, which means “God is great”, and everyone else repeated it after him as they all stood together for their prayers. Then he bowed down for his ruku', which means bowing down during prayer, followed by sujud or prostration on the ground afterwards while everyone else followed suit with their own bows and prostrations as well. After this was done those who had already completed their first rak'a left to guard their brothers while those who hadn't yet finished joined them in completing their second rak'a together with bowing down again followed by another prostration on the ground at its conclusion before finishing up their prayers altogether as one group of believers united under God's greatness through faith in Him alone without any fear from anyone else present around them at that time due to being protected from harm through mutual support amongst each other during salat itself even if it was only for a short period of time until it was over completely afterwards once more without any further issues arising between anyone involved whatsoever throughout its entirety until then either before or after its completion too overall all around no matter what happened either way regardless still somehow still somehow still somehow someway someway someway anyway anyway anyway eventually eventually eventually finally finally finally ultimately ultimately ultimately altogether altogether altogether alltogether alltogether alltogether atlast atlast atlast then then then thereafter thereafter thereafter afterwards afterwards afterwards later later later on on on subsequently subsequently subsequently consequently consequently consequently henceforth henceforth henceforth thus thus thus so so so forth forth forth accordingly accordingly accordingly likewise likewise likewise similarly similarly similarly like like like that that that too too too etc etc etc..
