When the sun eclipsed during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, they (the people) were called to congregational prayers. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed two ruku's in one rak'ah. He then stood and observed two ruku's in (the second) rak'ah. The sun then became bright, and 'A'isha said; Never did I observe, ruku' and prostration longer than this (ruku' and prostration). (Using translation from Muslim 910)
أَنَّهُ قَالَ كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَنُودِيَ بِالصَّلَاةِ جَامِعَةً فَرَكَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي سَجْدَةٍ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَرَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي سَجْدَةٍ ثُمَّ جُلِّيَ عَنِ الشَّمْسِ قَالَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ مَا سَجَدْتُ سُجُودًا قَطُّ وَلَا رَكَعْتُ رُكُوعًا قَطُّ كَانَ أَطْوَلَ مِنْهُ
