Sahih al-Bukhari 942
Abul Yaman narrated to us, he said: Shu'aib told us, narrating from Zuhri, he said: I asked (Zuhri) whether the Prophet (saw) too had offered this Prayer, that is, the Prayer of Fear (Salat-ul-Khauf)? He said: Salim told me that Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (ra) used to say: I went with the Messenger of Allah (saw) to fight towards Najd. We stood facing the enemy and formed rows in front of them. The Messenger of Allah (saw) stood up to lead us in prayer. One group stood praying with him and one group kept facing the enemy. The Messenger of Allah (saw), together with those who were with him, bowed and made two prostrations. Then these people went back to the place of the group which had not yet prayed, and they came. He led them too in one Rak'ah and made two prostrations. Then he said the Salam. Then each one of them stood up and, on his own, offered one Rak'ah, bowing and making two prostrations.

He narrated from Abdul Aziz bin Suhaib and Thabit Bunani, both of them from Hazrat Anas bin Malik (ra), that the Messenger of Allah (saw) offered the morning Prayer while it was still dark. Then he mounted and said: “Allahu akbar, Khaibar is ruined. When we encamp in the courtyard of a people, then evil indeed is the morning of those who have been warned beforehand.” The Jews came out running in the streets, saying: Muhammad and the army! The narrator said: Khamis means army. The Messenger of Allah (saw) overcame them. He killed the fighters and took the women and children captive. Hazrat Safiyyah (ra) first fell to the share of Hazrat Dihyah Kalbi (ra) and then came to the Messenger of Allah (saw). So he married her and made her freedom her dower (Mahr). Abdul Aziz asked Thabit: Abu Muhammad, did you ask Hazrat Anas (ra) what dower the Messenger of Allah (saw) gave her? He said in reply: He gave her herself as her dower. (He used to say:) Saying this, he smiled.
