[Machine] She said, "He was terrified on the day the sun was eclipsed, the messenger of Allah ﷺ grabbed a shield until he covered himself with it, then he stood up for a long time, standing and then bowing. If a person came after the prophet ﷺ had bowed, he would not have known that he had bowed. He thought that he had bowe from the length of the standing. She said, "I started to look at the woman who is older than me and the woman who is sicker than me, both standing while I am more entitled to endure the long standing than them."

أحمد:٢٦٩٦٨حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَنْصُورُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أُمِّهِ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ شَيْبَةَ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ فَزِعَ يَوْمَ كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخَذَ دِرْعًا حَتَّى أَدْرَكَ بِرِدَائِهِ فَقَامَ بِالنَّاسِ قِيَامًا طَوِيلًا يَقُومُ ثُمَّ يَرْكَعُ فَلَوْ جَاءَ إِنْسَانٌ بَعْدَمَا رَكَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَمْيَعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ رَكَعَ مَا حَدَّثَ نَفْسَهُ أَنَّهُ رَكَعَ مِنْ طُولِ الْقِيَامِ قَالَتْ فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْمَرْأَةِ الَّتِي هِيَ أَكْبَرُ مِنِّي وَإِلَى الْمَرْأَةِ الَّتِي هِيَ أَسْقَمُ مِنِّي قَائِمَةً وَأَنَا أَحَقُّ أَنْ أَصْبِرَ عَلَى طُولِ الْقِيَامِ مِنْهَا

[Machine] She said: The Prophet ﷺ became scared on the day the sun was eclipsed. He took a shield until he covered himself with it, then he stood up for a long time, stood up then kneeled. She said: I looked at the woman who was older than me and standing, and at the woman who was weaker than me and standing, so I said: I have more right to endure standing than you. Ibn Juraij said: Mansour ibn Abdul Rahman narrated to me from his mother Safiyyah bint Shaybah, from Asma bint Abu Bakr, that the Prophet ﷺ became scared.
