[Machine] The sun was setting on the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so he prayed. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform rukoo' (bowing) and sujood (prostration). Hajjaj said, "Our prayers are like his prayers."  

أحمد:١٨٤٤٣حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ وَحَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةِ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ قَالَ

انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَرْكَعُ وَيَسْجُدُ قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ مِثْلَ صَلَاتِنَا

In the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ the sun eclipsed and then he offered a two rakʿat prayer.  

البخاري:١٠٦٢حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ ؓ قَالَ

انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed when there was an eclipse of the sun like our prayer, bowing and prostrating.  

النسائي:١٤٨٩أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الأَحْوَلِ عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَّى حِينَ انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ مِثْلَ صَلاَتِنَا يَرْكَعُ وَيَسْجُدُ  

ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْمُصَلِّيَ صَلَاةَ الْكُسُوفِ لَهُ أَنْ يَجْهَرَ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فِيهَا

Aishah said: "The sun was eclipsed during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and it was called out: 'As-salatu jam'iah (prayer is about to begin in congregation).' So the people gathered and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led them in prayer, bowing four times in two rak'ahs and prostrating four times." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1473)   

ابن حبّان:٢٨٥٠أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ نَمِرٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

«كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعَ سَجَدَاتٍ وَجَهَرَ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ»
