(the wife of the Prophet ﷺ In the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ the sun eclipsed and he went to the Mosque and the people aligned behind him. He said the Takbir (starting the prayer) and prolonged the recitation (from the Qur'an) and then said Takbir and performed a prolonged bowing; then he (lifted his head and) said, "Sami allahu liman hamidah" (Allah heard him who sent his praises to Him). He then did not prostrate but stood up and recited a prolonged recitation which was shorter than the first recitation. He again said Takbir and then bowed a prolonged bowing but shorter than the first one and then said, "Samiʿa l-lahu Lyman hamidah Rabbana walak-lhamd, (Allah heard him who sent his praises to Him. O our Sustainer! All the praises are for You)" and then prostrated and did the same in the second rakʿa; thus he completed four bowing and four prostrations. The sun (eclipse) had cleared before he finished the prayer. (After the prayer) he stood up, glorified and praised Allah as He deserved and then said, "The sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allah. They do not eclipse because of the death or the life (i.e. birth) of someone. When you see them make haste for the prayer." Narrated Az-Zuhri: I said to 'Urwa, "When the sun eclipsed at Medina your brother (ʿAbdullah bin Az-Zubair) offered only a two-rakʿat prayer like that of the morning (Fajr) prayer." 'Urwa replied, "Yes, for he missed the Prophet's tradition (concerning this matter)."

Allah listened to him who praised Him: our Lord, praise is due to Thee. He then again stood up and made a long recital, which was less than the first recital. He pronounced takbir and observed a long ruku', and it was less than the first one. He again said: Allah listened to him who praised Him; our Lord, praise is due to Thee. (Abu Tahir, one of the narrators) made no mention of:" He then prostrated himself." He did like this in the second rak'ah, till he completed four rak'ahs and four prostrations and the sun became bright before he deported. He then stood up and addressed people, after lauding Allah as He deserved, and then said: The sun and the moon are two signs among the signs of Allah These do not eclipse either on the death of anyone or on his birth. So when you see them, hasten to prayer. He also said this: Observe prayer till Allah dispels the anxiety (of this extraordinary phenomenon) from you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I saw in my place everything which you have been promised. I even saw myself desiring to pluck a bunch (of grapes) from Paradise (and it was at the time) when you saw me moving forward. And I saw Hell and some of its parts crushing the others, when you saw me moving back; and I saw in it Ibn Luhayy and he was the person who made the she-camels loiter about. In the hadith transmitted by Abu Tahir the words are:" He hastened to prayer," and he made no mention of what follows.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his father that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ said, "There was an eclipse of the sun in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led the people in prayer. He stood, and did so for a long time. Then he went into ruku, and made the ruku long. Then he stood again, and did so for a long time, though not as long as the first time. Then he went into ruku, and made the ruku long, though not as long as thefirst time. Then he rose, and went down into sajda. He then did the same in the second raka, and by the time he had finished the sun had appeared. He then gave a khutba to the people, in which he praised Allah and then said, 'The sun and the moon are two of Allah's signs. They do not eclipse for anyone's death nor for anyone's life. When you see an eclipse, call on Allah and say, "Allah is greater" and give sadaqa.' Then he said, 'O community of Muhammad! ByAllah, there is no-one more jealous than Allah of a male or female slave of his who commits adultery. O community of Muhammad! By Allah, if you knew what I knew, you would laugh little and weep much'."

[Machine] The sun set, then Ali prayed for people and recited Yasin and similar verses. Then he bowed down from his recitation of the Surah, then he raised his head and said Allah heard the one who praised him. Then he stood up for the amount of the Surah, made supplication and glorified Allah, then he bowed down for the amount of his recitation, then he said Allah heard the one who praised him. Then he stood up again for the amount of the Surah, then he bowed down for the same amount, until he performed four units of prayer. Then he said Allah heard the one who praised him, then he prostrated, then he stood up in the second unit and did the same as he did in the first unit. Then he sat down and supplicated and expressed desire until the sun rose. Then he informed them that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did the same. Abu Saad Al-Malini informed us that Abu Ahmad bin Adi Al-Hafiz said that Hanash bin Al-Mutamir, Abu Al-Mutamir Al-Kinanin, one of them said Hanash bin Rabia, heard Ali narrated by them. Simak bin Harb and Al-Hakam bin Utaiba spoke about his narration. He is Kuwafi. I heard Ibn Hammad mentioning him according to Al-Bukhari. Abu Ahmad said, and Abu Abdul Rahman An-Nasai said in what Muhammad bin Abbas informed me, Hanash bin Al-Mutamir is not strong. The Sheikh said, and among our companions who went to verify the reports in this number, it is valid for everyone to add what he memorized. and it is possible that ﷺ increased in bowing if he did not see the sun shining. Ishaaq bin Rahawayh went to this, and after him Muhammad bin Ishaaq bin Khuzaimeh, and Abu Bakr Ahmad bin Ishaaq bin Ayyoub As-Sibghi, and Abu Sulaiman Al-Khattabi, and Abu Bakr Muhammad bin Ibrahim bin Al-Mundhir, the companion of Khalifiyat. And with Allah is success, and what Ash-Shafi'i indicated from the preference is sound. And Allah knows best.
