Qatadah narrated from Nu‘man ibn Muqarrin: I went on an expedition with the Prophet (ﷺ). When dawn broke, he would pause 1 until the sun rose. When it rose, he would fight. When midday arrived, he would pause until the sun passed its zenith. When it passed, he would fight until Asr. Then he would pause until he prayed Asr, then fight again. Qatadah said: It was said at that time that the winds of victory would stir, and the believers would pray for their armies in their prayers.

Note 1
(1) The statement: "When dawn broke, he would pause, etc.": This likely applies when he initiated the fighting, while the prayer of fear applies when the disbelievers had the upper hand. As stated in (Al-Mirqat).
