حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ خَوَّاتٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم صَلَّى بِأَصْحَابِهِ فِي خَوْفٍ فَجَعَلَهُمْ خَلْفَهُ صَفَّيْنِ فَصَلَّى بِالَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ قَامَ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ قَائِمًا حَتَّى صَلَّى الَّذِينَ خَلْفَهُمْ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمُوا وَتَأَخَّرَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا قُدَّامَهُمْ فَصَلَّى بِهِمُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ قَعَدَ حَتَّى صَلَّى الَّذِينَ تَخَلَّفُوا رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ .

বাংলা অনুবাদ
। সাহল ইবনু আবূ হাসমাহ (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। একদা নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম তাঁর সাহাবীদেরকে নিয়ে সালাতুল খাওফ আদায় করেন। তিনি তাঁর পিছনে সাহাবীদেরকে দুই কাতারে দাঁড় করান। অতঃপর তাঁর কাছাকাছি কাতারের লোকদের নিয়ে এক রাক‘আত সালাত আদায় করেন। অতঃপর তাঁর কাছাকাছি কাতারের লোকেরা নিজেরাই বাকী এক রাক‘আত আদায় করে নেন কিন্তু তিনি যথারীতি দাঁড়িয়ে থাকলেন। অতঃপর যারা পিছনের (দ্বিতীয়) কাতারে ছিল তারা সম্মুখে আসলো এবং যারা সম্মুখে ছিল তারা পিছনে চলে গেল। তারপর নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এদেরকে নিয়ে এক রাক‘আত সালাত আদায় করলেন। অতঃপর তিনি (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম) বসে রইলেন আর পিছনের লোকেরা বাকী এক রাক‘আত পূর্ণ করলো। সবশেষে তিনি সালাম ফিরালেন। সহীহ : বুখারী ও মুসলিম।
