حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَشْعَثُ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، قَالَ: صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي خَوْفٍ الظُّهْرَ، فَصَفَّ بَعْضُهُمْ خَلْفَهُ، وَبَعْضُهُمْ 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 صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْبَعًا وَلِأَصْحَابِهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ . وَبِذَلِكَ كَانَ يُفْتِي الْحَسَنُ. قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد: وَكَذَلِكَ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ يَكُونُ لِلْإِمَامِ سِتُّ رَكَعَاتٍ وَلِلْقَوْمِ ثَلَاثٌ ثَلَاثٌ. قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد: وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَكَذَلِكَ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ الْيَشْكُرِيُّ: عَنْ جَابِرٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

Those Who Said That Each Group Should Pray Two Rak'ahs With The Imam
The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم 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 صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم 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 bin Abi Kathir narrated from Abu Salamah from Jabir رضی اللہ عنہ from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم something similar. Sulaiman al-Yashkuri reported it from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم in like manner.
