ahmad:24045Muḥammad b. Fuḍayl > Hishām from his father > ʿĀʾishah

[Machine] She said that the sun had set, so the Prophet ﷺ prayed. He prolonged the standing, then he bowed and prolonged the bowing. Before prostrating, he raised his head and prolonged the standing, which was shorter than the first standing. Then he bowed, prolonging it less than the first bowing. Then he prostrated and stood up for the second unit, and he did the same as he did in the first unit, except that the first standing was longer than the last one, and the first bowing was longer than the last one. Then he completed his prayer, and the sun had already set.

أَنَّها قَالَتْ انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَصَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْجُدَفَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ وَهُوَ دُونَ الْقِيَامِ الْأَوَّلِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ دُونَ الرُّكُوعِ الْأَوَّلِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ ثُمَّ قَامَ الثَّانِيَةَ ثُمَّ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ مَا فَعَلَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى غَيْرَ أَنَّ أَوَّلَ قِيَامِهِ أَطْوَلُ مِنْ آخِرِهِ وَأَوَّلَ رُكُوعِهِ أَطْوَلُ مِنْ آخِرِهِ فَقَضَى صَلَاتَهُ وَقَدْ تَجَلَّتِ الشَّمْسُ

"The sun eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He stood and led the people in prayer. He stood for a long time, then he bowed for a long time, then he stood for a long time that was shorter than the first time, then he bowed for a long time that was shorter than the first time. Then he prostrated for a long time, then he sat up, then he prostrated for a long time that was shorter than the first time. Then he stood up and bowed twice again, doing the same again. Then he prostrated twice, doing the same again, until he had finished his prayer. Then he said: 'The sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allah (SWT), and they do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone. If you see that then hasted to remember Allah (SWT) and pray.'"

"The sun was eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah, so the Messenger of Allah led the people in prayer. He recited a lengthy recitation, then he bowed a lengthy bowing, then he raised his head and recited a lengthy recitation that was less than the first. Then he bowed a lengthy bowing that was less than the first. Then he raised his head and prostrated. Then he did (similar to) that in the second Rak'ah."
