CHAPTER: Those Who Said That The Imam Should Lead Each Group For One Rak’ah And Then They Should Not Complete (The Second Rak’ah).
Narrated Hudhayfah: Thalabah ibn Zahdam said: We accompanied Saad ibn al-As at Tabaristan. He stood and said: Which of you prayed along with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم in time of danger? Hudhayfah said: I then he led one section in one rak'ah and the other section in one rak'ah. They did not pray the second rak'ah by themselves. Abu Dawud: This tradition has been transmitted by Ubaid Allah bin Abdullah and Mujahid on the authority of Ibn Abbas from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم in like manner. This has also been narrated by Abdullah bin Shaqiq from Abu Hurairah from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. Yazid al-Faqir and Abu Musa also narrated this tradition from Jabir from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. 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 صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم something similar. Zaid bin Thabit also narrated from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم in like manner. This version adds: The people prayed on rak'ah and the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم prayed two rak'ahs.
Narrated Ibn Abbas: Allah, the Exalted, prescribed prayer for you, through the tongue of your Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, four rak'ahs while resident, two rak'ahs while travelling and one rak'ah in time of danger.
