16. Eclipses
١٦۔ كتاب الكسوف
When the sun eclipsed in the lifetime of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and an announcement was made that the prayer was to be held in congregation. The Prophet ﷺ performed two bowing in one rakʿa. Then he stood up and performed two bowing in one rakʿa. Then he sat down and finished the prayer; and by then the (eclipse) had cleared ʿAisha said, "I had never performed such a long prostration."
أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَمَّا كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ نُودِيَ إِنَّ الصَّلاَةَ جَامِعَةٌ فَرَكَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي سَجْدَةٍ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَرَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي سَجْدَةٍ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ ثُمَّ جُلِّيَ عَنِ الشَّمْسِ قَالَ وَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ مَا سَجَدْتُ سُجُودًا قَطُّ كَانَ أَطْوَلَ مِنْهَا
