7. Ṣalāh of Eclipse

٧۔ كِتَابُ صَلَاةِ الْخُسُوفِ

7.4 [Machine] Who is permitted to pray two units of prayer during a lunar eclipse, with three bowings in each unit?

٧۔٤ بَابُ مَنْ أَجَازَ أَنْ يُصَلَّى فِي الْخُسُوفِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ ثَلَاثُ رُكُوعَاتٍ

bayhaqi:6318Abū Ṣāliḥ Ibn Abū Ṭāhir al-ʿAnbarī > Jaddī Yaḥyá b. Manṣūr al-Qāḍī > Aḥmad b. Salamah > Isḥāq b. Ibrāhīm > Muḥammad b. Bakr > Ibn Jurayj > ʿAṭāʾ > ʿUbayd b. ʿUmayr > Man Uṣaddiq Yurīd ʿĀʾishah

I heard 'Ubaid b. 'Umair say: It has been narrated to me by one whom I regard as truthful, (the narrator says: I can well guess that he meant 'A'isha) that the sun eclipsed during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he stood up (in prayer) for a rigorously long time. He then bowed and then stood up and then bowed and then stood up and then bowed, thus observing three ruku's in two rak'ahs and four prostrations. He then departed and the sun brightened. He pronounced" Allah is the Greatest" while bowing. He would then bow and say:" Allah listened to him who praised Him" while lifting up his head. He then stood up, and praised Allah and lauded Him, and then said: The sun and the moon do not eclipse on the death of anyone or on his birth. But both of them are among the signs of Allah with which Allah terrifies His servants. So when you see them under eclipse, remember Allah till they are brightened.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed six units of prayer in four prostrations. I asked Mu'adh ibn Hisham, "Was this from the Prophet ﷺ ?" He replied, "Yes, without a doubt."

There was an eclipse of the sun in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had died. The people began to to say that there was an eclipse on account of the death of Ibrahim. The Prophet ﷺ stood up and led the people in prayer performing six bowings and four prostrations. he said: Allah is most great, and then recited from the Qur'an and prolonged the recitation. He then bowed nearly as long as he stood. He then raised his head and recited from the Qur'an but it was less than the first (recitation). He then bowed nearly as long as he stood. He then raised his head and then recited from the Quran for the third time, but it was less than the second recitation. He then bowed nearly as long as he stood. he then raised his head and then recited from the Qur'an for the third time, but it was less than the second recitation. he then bowed nearly as long as he stood. Then he raised his head and went down for prostration. he made two prostrations. He then stood and made three bowings before prostrating himself, the preceding bowing being more lengthy than the following, but he bowed nearly as long as he stood. He then stepped back during the prayer and the rows (of the people) too stepped back along with him. Then he stepped forward and stood in his place, and the rows too stepped forward. he then finished the prayer and the sun had become bright. He said: O people, the sun and the moon are two of Allah's signs; they are not eclipsed on account of a man's death. So when you see anything of that nature, offer prayer until the sun becomes bright. The narrator then narrated the rest of the tradition. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1178)

[Machine] Until he reached the women, then he added in the end of the speech things that you were promised and I have seen in my prayer until the fire comes and when you saw me, I hesitated for fear that it would burn me, and until I saw the owner of the broom dragging his broom in the fire, stealing the belongings of the pilgrims with his broom, if he was caught, he said, "It is attached to my broom," and if he was not noticed, he went away, and until I saw the owner of the cat that she tied it and did not feed it and did not let it eat from the earth's crust until it died of hunger, then the paradise was brought and that was when you saw me advance until I stood in my position and I stretched out my hand and I wanted to take its fruit for you to see it, then it appeared to me that I should not do it, so there is nothing that I promised you except that I have seen it in my prayer.
