وَ قَدْ رُخِّصَ فِي صَلاَةِ اَلْخَوْفِ مِنَ اَلسَّبُعِ إِذَا خَشِيَهُ اَلرَّجُلُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَنْ يُكَبِّرَ وَ لاَ يُومِئَ رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ.

Hadith.1344 - t has been permitted, in the case of the prayer of fear from a wild beast when a person fears for their life, to simply say the takbir (proclaiming "Allahu Akbar") without making gestures. This was narrated by Muhammad ibn Muslim from one of the Imams (as).

صَلَاةُ الزَّحْفِ عَلَى الظَّهْرِ إِيمَاءٌ بِرَأْسِكَ‌[5] وَ تَكْبِيرٌ[6] وَ الْمُسَايَفَةِ تَكْبِيرٌ بِغَيْرِ إِيمَاءٍ[7]- وَ الْمُطَارَدَةِ إِيمَاءٌ يُصَلِّي كُلُّ رَجُلٍ عَلَى حِيَالِهِ‌[1].

"The prayer during advancing combat (al-zahf) is performed on one's back with gestures of the head and the takbir (proclamation of 'Allahu Akbar'). During close fighting (al-musayafa), it involves takbir without gestures. During pursuit (al-mutarada), it is performed with gestures, and each person prays individually as
