It is part of the events of the Expedition of Tabuk in Year 9 after the Hijrah.
In Rajab of this year, at Tabuk, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the Fajr prayer behind Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf may Allah be pleased with him.
During the Expedition of Tabuk in 9 AH, the Prophet ﷺ was delayed from his Companions at the time of the morning prayer because he had gone to attend to a need. The Companions feared that the prayer time would end, so they appointed Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf may Allah be pleased with him to lead them. When the Prophet ﷺ arrived and the prayer had already begun, Abd ar-Rahman wanted to step back, but the Prophet ﷺ signaled to him to stay where he was. The Prophet ﷺ then prayed behind him for the rest of the prayer, and after Abd ar-Rahman gave salam, he stood up and made up what he had missed. This incident shows the humility of the Prophet ﷺ and the status of Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf may Allah be pleased with him. It also shows, in Islamic law, that a better person may pray behind someone of lesser rank, that the congregation should keep prayer within its time, and that one who joins late completes what he missed after the imam's salam.
This took place in the context of the Expedition of Tabuk, one of the events of Year 9 after the Hijrah.
