Shuba wrote it to me, and I read it back to him, and I heard him narrating it, but I memorized it. Ibn Bashshar said in his version, "What I memorized from the book is that the Prophet ﷺ was facing the enemy in battle ranks at Usfan, with Khalid bin Walid commanding the polytheists. The Prophet ﷺ led them in the noon prayer.The polytheists said, "They have a prayer after this one that is more beloved to them than their wealth and children."So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led them in the afternoon prayer. He arranged them in two rows behind him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the bowing with all of them together, but when they raised their heads, he prostrated only with the row nearest to him while the others remained standing. When that row had raised their heads from prostration, the rear row then performed their prostration, having bowed earlier with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then the front row moved back and the rear row moved forward, each taking the other's place.Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the bowing with all of them together again. When they raised their heads from bowing, the row closest to him prostrated while the others remained standing. When the first group had finished their prostration, the others then prostrated. Then the Prophet ﷺ gave the closing salutation upon them.
أخبرنا محمد بن المثنى ومحمد بن بشار عن محمد قال حدثنا شعبة عن منصور قال سمعت مجاهدا يحدث
شعبة كتب به إلي وقرأته عليه وسمعته منه يحدث ولكني حفظته قال ابن بشار في حديثه حفظي من الكتاب أن النبي ﷺ كان مصاف العدو بعسفان وعلى المشركين خالد بن الوليد فصلى بهم النبي ﷺ الظهر قال المشركون إن لهم صلاة بعد هذه هي أحب إليهم من أموالهم وأبنائهم فصلى بهم رسول الله ﷺ العصر فصفهم صفين خلفه فركع بهم رسول الله ﷺ جميعا فلما رفعوا رءوسهم سجد بالصف الذي يليه وقام الآخرون فلما رفعوا رءوسهم من السجود سجد الصف المؤخر بركوعهم مع رسول الله ﷺ ثم تأخر الصف المقدم وتقدم الصف المؤخر فقام كل واحد منهم في مقام صاحبه ثم ركع بهم رسول الله ﷺ جميعا فلما رفعوا رءوسهم من الركوع سجد الصف الذي يليه وقام الآخرون فلما فرغوا من سجودهم سجد الآخرون ثم سلم النبي ﷺ عليهم
