the original prescription and the prayer of one who was resident was enhanced.

We accompanied the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) at Usfan, and Khalid ibn al-Walid was
the chief of unbelievers. We offered the noon prayer.
Thereupon, the unbelievers said: We suffered from negligence; we became
careless. We should have attacked them while they were praying. Thereupon the
verse was revealed, relating to the shortening of the prayer (in time of danger)
between the noon and afternoon (prayer).
When the time of the afternoon prayer came, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood
facing the qiblah, and the unbelievers were standing in front of him. The people
stood in a row behind the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and there was another row
behind this row. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) bowed and all of them bowed. He then
prostrated and also the row near him prostrated. The other people in the second
row remained standing and stood guard over them. When they performed two
prostrations and stood up, those who were behind them prostrated. The people in
the front row near him then stepped backward taking the place of the people in
the second row and the second row took the place of the first row.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then bowed and all of them bowed together. Then he
and the row near him prostrated themselves. The other people in the second row
remained standing and stood guard over them. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and
the row near him (i.e. the front row) were seated, the people in the second row
behind them prostrated themselves. Then all of them were seated. (He (the
Prophet) then uttered the salutation upon all of them. He prayed in his manner
at Usfan as well as at the territory of Banu Sulaym.

Abu Dawud: This tradition has been transmitted by 'Ubaid Allah b. 'Abd Allah and
Mujahid on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas from the Prophet (ﷺ) in like manner. This
has also been narrated by 'Abd Allah b. Shaqiq from Abu Hurairah from the
Prophet (ﷺ). Yazid al-Faqir and Abu Musa also narrated this tradition from Jabir
from the Prophet (ﷺ). Some of the narrators said in the version narrated by
Yazid al-Faqir that they completed their second rak'ah. This has also been
narrated by Simak al-Hanafi on the authority of Ibn 'Umar from the Prophet (ﷺ)
something similar. Zaid b. Thabit also narrated from the Prophet (ﷺ) in like
manner. This version adds: The people prayed on rak'ah and the Prophet (ﷺ)
prayed two rak'ahs.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي الأَشْعَثُ
بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ، عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ زَهْدَمٍ،
قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ بِطَبَرِسْتَانَ فَقَامَ فَقَالَ
أَيُّكُمْ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم صَلاَةَ الْخَوْفِ
فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ أَنَا فَصَلَّى بِهَؤُلاَءِ رَكْعَةً وَبِهَؤُلاَءِ رَكْعَةً
وَلَمْ يَقْضُوا . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَكَذَا رَوَاهُ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَمُجَاهِدٌ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه
وسلم وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ شَقِيقٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى
الله عليه وسلم وَيَزِيدُ الْفَقِيرُ وَأَبُو مُوسَى - قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ رَجُلٌ
مِنَ التَّابِعِينَ لَيْسَ بِالأَشْعَرِيِّ - جَمِيعًا عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنِ
النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَقَدْ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي حَدِيثِ يَزِيدَ
الْفَقِيرِ إِنَّهُمْ قَضَوْا رَكْعَةً أُخْرَى . وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ سِمَاكٌ
الْحَنَفِيُّ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَكَذَلِكَ
رَوَاهُ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ فَكَانَتْ
لِلْقَوْمِ رَكْعَةً رَكْعَةً وَلِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَكْعَتَيْنِ .

The Prophet (ﷺ) offered the noon prayer in time of danger. Some of the people
formed a row behind him and others arrayed themselves against the enemy. He led
them in two rak'ahs and then he uttered the salutation. Then those who were with
him went away and took the position of their companions before the enemy. Then
they came and prayed behind him. He led them in two rak'ahs and uttered the
salutation. Thus the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) offered four rak'ahs and his
companions offered two rak'ahs.
Al-Hasan used to give legal verdict on the authority of this tradition.
Abu Dawud said: This will be so in the sunset prayer. The imam will offer six
rak'ahs and the people three rak'ahs.
Abu Dawud said: Yahya b. Abi Kathir narrated from Abu Salamah from Jabir from
the Prophet (ﷺ) something similar. Sulaiman al-Yashkuri reported it from the
Prophet (ﷺ) in like manner.
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا
الأَشْعَثُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، قَالَ صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ صلى
الله عليه وسلم فِي خَوْفٍ الظُّهْرَ فَصَفَّ بَعْضَهُمْ خَلْفَهُ وَبَعْضَهُمْ
بِإِزَاءِ الْعَدُوِّ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ فَانْطَلَقَ
الَّذِينَ صَلَّوْا مَعَهُ فَوَقَفُوا مَوْقِفَ أَصْحَابِهِمْ ثُمَّ جَاءَ
أُولَئِكَ فَصَلَّوْا خَلْفَهُ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ
فَكَانَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَرْبَعًا وَلأَصْحَابِهِ
رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ . وَبِذَلِكَ كَانَ يُفْتِي الْحَسَنُ . قَالَ أَبُو
دَاوُدَ وَكَذَلِكَ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ يَكُونُ لِلإِمَامِ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent me to Khalid b. Sufyan al-Hudhail. This was
towards 'Uranah and 'Arafat. He (the Prophet) said: Go and kill him. I saw him
when the time of the afternoon prayer had come. I said: I am afraid if a fight
takes place between me and him (Khalid b. Sufyan), that might delay the prayer.
I proceeded walking towards him while I was praying by making a sign. When I
reached near him, he said to me: Who are you ? I replied: A man from the Arabs;
it came to me that you were gathering (any army) for this man (i.e. Prophet).
Hence I came to you in connection with this matter. He said: I am (engaged) in
this (work). I then walked along with him for a while ; when it became
convenient for me, I dominated him with my sword until he became cold (dead).
